An IME, or Independent Medical Examination, is a doctor selected by the insurance company—not by you. Despite the name, IME doctors are often hired repeatedly by insurers and may downplay your injuries or claim you’re able to return to work sooner than you actually are.
The IME doctor’s report can be used to reduce benefits, stop wage checks, or deny further medical treatment. What you say, how you act, and even what you wear to the appointment can all be used against you.
Never go into an IME unprepared. Call Georgia Injury Advocates today at (770) 766-0555 for a free consultation, beforehand so we can explain what to expect and how to protect your claim.
