An Independent Medical Examination (IME) is a medical evaluation performed by a medical professional on a patient who was not previously involved in the treatment of that patient, to evaluate the patient’s course of prior treatment and current condition. IMEs are conducted by doctors, psychologists, and other licensed
healthcare professionals in essentially all medical disciplines, depending on the purpose of the exam and the claimed injuries.
Such examinations are generally conducted in the context of a legal or administrative proceeding, at the request of the party opposing the patient’s request for benefits. IMEs are commonly held in the context of workers’ compensation cases, disability claims, and personal injury litigation.
The purpose of an IME is to provide an independent and objective assessment of the patient’s medical condition, which can be used to determine the extent of the patient’s injuries and the appropriate level of compensation
Examination and Management of IME’s Requests was an issue faced by multiple Insurance Company Vendors due to the high volume of manual paperwork involved, appointment scheduling and coordination, multiple doctors and various other inputs required.
It was realised that software could help with the efficient management of Claimant Personal Information, HealthCare Data, and Generating Customized Reports as per Insurance Companies standard.

- Doctor reviews claimant record and carries out necessary medical checks and tests
- Summary report gets generated.
