FAQ

Common questions

What is a neurological IME?

IconIcon

An independent medical examination performed by a neurologist to give an objective opinion on diagnosis, causation, and prognosis, separate from the treating physicians.

How is this different from a treating doctor's opinion?

IconIcon

The exam is independent by design. There is no treatment relationship and no incentive to favor either party, which is exactly what makes the opinion useful in litigation.

How fast is the report?

IconIcon

Ten business days from the completed exam and received records is standard. Tell us at intake if your schedule is tighter.

Will the neurologist testify?

IconIcon

Yes. Deposition and trial testimony are available.
