Accurate documentation lies at the heart of any successfully administered insurance claim. A well-managed reporting function brings together critical information on interrelated case details, communicated damages, feedback from professional assessments, as well as dates and times for specific verification procedures.

Professional reporting is especially important for technically complex claims that involve federally-regulated Independent Medical Examinations (IME). These assessments play an essential role in cases involving personal injury, illness or long-term disabilities. IMEs act as a key confirmation for the legitimacy and accuracy of the patients’ stated medical concerns. The evidence prepared during the IME process will form the judgment-basis for any decisions made during the court settlement. As such, the medical examiner must ensure that their IME reports:

• Include basic patient details such as claimant name, date of injury/illness, data/time/location of evaluation, and other relevant information.
• Clearly address all issues posed by the referring client.
• Detail all medical records reviewed during the evaluation.
• Include an accurate, comprehensive medical history that addresses the medical issue at hand.
• Document the results of all medical examinations.
• Show a clearly worded medical opinion of the patient’s condition.
• Are properly formatted
• Free of proofreading errors such as typos and grammatical mistakes.
