Expert medical opinions and Independent Medical Exams are both medical management tools for those handling a claim. Because Independent Medical Exams require in-person evaluations and are often associated with denial of care, these commonly cause inherent friction with the injured individual and lead to litigation and increased associated legal fees.

Expert Medical Opinions are able to provide a complete case review, recommend the most appropriate treatment options and address surgical necessity without direct interaction with the injured worker. The results of the expert medical opinion may be shared with individuals on a case-by-case basis.
