An IME consists of a comprehensive review of the file provided, a physical examination, and generation of a written report or a verbal opinion to discuss findings. As a free ancillary service, NWME will coordinate phone conferences, addendums and subsequent deposition or court testimony when necessary.
NWME has extensive experience in paneling up to 4 experts for multi-specialty examinations.
