An IME is a medical evaluation conducted by a neutral, third-party physician to assess a patient’s condition, often used in legal, insurance, or workers’ compensation cases.

IMEs are typically requested by insurance companies, attorneys, or employers to obtain an objective medical opinion.

The physician reviews medical records, performs a physical examination, asks questions about your condition, and documents findings.
