Medix IME's can help you manage cases at multiple levels. Some cases can be quite complex, and present multiple challenges that can be answered by an IME:
- Is the illness or injury related to work? If so, how? If not, why not?
- Will the employee be able to return to work?
- Should the employee be place on modified duty, and if so, for how long?
- What is the prognoses for this condition?
- Is the case at Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)?
- What treatment will be necessary now and into the future?
- What is the impairment rating?
