There are times when you may need an independent medical evaluation. Your insurance company typically asks for an independent medical examination. This examination will provide information for reports to establish the degree of your injury or disability.
An independent medical examination helps in determining questions regarding your medical condition and the treatments that you may need due to your impairment.
There are many reasons you may need an independent medical examination. Here are a few:
- Your insurance company may request an independent medical examination. Your insurance company may have a contrasting opinion with your plan for treatment or your permanent disability rating. This rating will help determine how much you will receive in benefits due to your injury.
- You may request an independent medical examination if you disagree with your doctor’s evaluations and opinions.
- Independent medical examinations can help determine your worker’s comp case. They also carry legal weight that can be used as evidence at future hearings related to your injury.
