There Is No Such Thing As An Independent Medical Examinations Buckinghamshire
If you are injured from a motor vehicle accident, and make a claim against the driver who caused the accident, his or her insurance company has the right to have you examined by a doctor of its choice. This is variously called an “independent”, “adverse” or “compulsory” Medical Examinations Buckinghamshire. I refuse to use the word “independent” when referring to these exams, even though they are routinely referred to as IME’s. I call them “Insurance Medical Exams,”or better yet, DME’s or “Defense Medical Exams.”The bottom line is that these doctors are hired for one purpose and one purpose only – to either deny or minimize a claim one other is MMR Buckinghamshire.
Whatever it’s called, the doctor who performs the exam will testify about your injuries for the insurance company. Make no mistake- the insurance company pays the doctor’s fee. The doctor is examining you not for the purpose of treatment, nor to help you find relief from your injuries. Rather, it is the doctor’s job to obtain information that will either allow the insurance company to terminate its obligation to pay your MMR Buckinghamshire bills or to cast doubt on your claim of injury should your case go to trial.
This examination, and the doctor, are anything but independent. The insurance companies carefully and deliberately pick what doctors they want to perform specific evaluations. Most of these doctors have frequently done work for that insurance company and typically work for insurance companies exclusively. These doctors solicit business from the insurance companies by offering to do such ‘independent’ MMR Buckinghamshire evaluations for them knowing that the insurance company will not refer patients to the doctor again unless the reports are favorable to the insurance company. This means that in order to stay in business, this ‘independent’ doctor, performing an ‘independent’ medical examination must be in the business of writing reports which negate injury claims, and serve only to bolster the insurance company’s denial of your medical benefits. If this ‘independent’ doctor fails to write reports in accordance with the insurance carrier’s specifications, then that doctor will not be referred any more cases to review from the insurance company.
