Second Opinions for Workers' Compensation Injuries
In Brown Deer, you hold the freedom to choose your own physician for workplace injuries and workers' compensation cases, without any pressure from your employer. We understand that obtaining an honest diagnosis for workers' compensation injuries can be difficult, but our physicians are here to provide you with a professional medical opinion that is honest and accurate. Remember, seeking a second opinion can have a meaningful impact on your life.
Independent Medical Exams for Workers’ Comp Cases in Brown Deer
Independent medical exams (IMEs) for workers’ compensation cases entail a licensed physician completing an in-person medical exam of the patient and then providing an opinion as to whether the injury happened on the job, as well as, when and if the worker should be able to return to work. IMEs provide complete and comprehensive results for all parties involved in the case and serve to support evidence-supported outcomes. Workers are provided with documented evidence of the injury (or lack of injury) and verification that they should (or should not) be compensated. Insurance companies can use the report to determine whether or not the claim is valid and should be paid. A neutral, board-certified physician completing an IME eliminates any conflicts of interest and gives all parties involved the confidence of an unbiased recommendation.
