An independent medical examination (IME), also known as independent medical evaluation, is an evaluation of an individual’s medical condition by an independent medical examiner to determine if the individual qualifies for disability benefits or workers’ compensation claims. The services of an IME are usually sought by insurance companies, employers, benefits providers, lawyers, or HR managers to determine whether to approve or decline benefits, coverage, or settlements to an individual.
