Independent medical evaluations are different than usual physician appointments where a doctor-patient relationship exists and parameters regarding appointments, billing, and correspondence are straightforward. IMEs require considerations of dealing with a requesting party who is often unaffiliated with the examinee. Thus, multiple avenues of communication need to occur for IME appointments to be successfully scheduled and attended. Since these evaluations are conducted within a medicolegal context, the IME physician should develop policies that address billing, no-shows, cancellations, and follow-up work. |
