Independent Medical Examinations
Complete IME coordination from physician selection through final report delivery. We match board-certified doctors to your case and manage all logistics.
What We Handle
Criterion manages the entire IME process. We identify and vet a board-certified physician matched to the injury or condition at issue. We handle scheduling, coordinate examinee logistics, track the examination, and ensure timely report delivery. You get a single point of contact for the entire engagement—no juggling multiple vendors or chasing down scheduling conflicts.
Our physician network spans all major specialties and geographic regions. We match doctors based on board certification, experience with the specific injury or condition, familiarity with the relevant standards of care, and availability.
When IME Coordination Matters
Personal Injury Defense — Plaintiff claims injuries that require independent medical evaluation to challenge damages or treatment necessity.
Workers' Compensation — Disputed industrial injuries or causation claims requiring neutral medical assessment.
High-Value Claims — Cases where ongoing treatment costs and future care needs are central to damages and require independent assessment.
Litigation Timeline Pressures — When coordinating an IME yourself isn't feasible due to discovery deadlines or scheduling constraints.
