I remember a case where the injured individual after reviewing the IME doctors report was furious. I asked where the IME doctor might have gotten that idea. Don't ever forget where you are or whom you are dealing with. During the course of your exam, without the doctor knowing it, keep track of the time the doctor spends with you and what is being done during each time period. Arrive at the doctor's office.
Doctor arrives in examining room.
If you felt the doctor hurt you or if you felt worse following the evaluation The doctor will prepare a report for the insurance company describing his examination of you, along with his findings and opinions. It is extremely rare for the doctor to determine that you were injured in the accident or recommend any further medical treatment. If you feel you have made a good impression, ask the doctor what treatment he or she would recommend for your injuries. Your questions may prompt the doctor to treat you as a patient, rather than an insurance claim. Dr. Jeffrey States is a 4th generation chiropractic physician.
