Independent Medical Examinations
At MEDirect, we specialise in providing comprehensive and impartial Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) across Australia. Our assessments are conducted by qualified and experienced medical specialists who are independent of the treating parties. IMEs play a critical role in personal injury, insurance, workers’ compensation, and disability matters, offering objective medical opinions to support informed decision-making.
What is an IME?
An Independent Medical Examination is an assessment carried out by a specialist who has not previously been involved in the treatment of the claimant. The purpose is to evaluate the person’s injury, illness, or condition in relation to a legal or insurance matter. IMEs are often required in situations where there is a dispute about diagnosis, treatment needs, prognosis, work capacity, or level of impairment.
When are IMEs Needed?
IMEs are commonly requested for:
- Workers’ compensation claims
- Motor vehicle accident injuries
- Public liability matters
- Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claims
- Medical negligence cases
- Historical Sexual Abuse matters
- Employment disputes or fitness-for-duty evaluations
