Evaluation-Only. Evidence-Based.

An Independent Medical Examination (IME) is an objective, third-party medical evaluation performed to answer specific legal or administrative questions. No physician–patient relationship is established, and no treatment is offered or implied.

Dr. Korzeniowski conducts IMEs for insurers, defense and plaintiff attorneys, employers, and administrative agencies. Every evaluation is conducted in accordance with applicable standards and documented with page-cited evidence.

What IMEs Address

• Causation — What caused this condition, and is it related to the claimed event?
• Apportionment — What portion of impairment is attributable to the injury vs. pre-existing conditions?
• Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) — Has the claimant reached a plateau in recovery?
• Impairment Ratings — Percentage determinations per AMA Guides 5th or 6th Edition
• Work Capacity — Return-to-work capabilities, restrictions, and limitations
• Treatment Review — Medical necessity and appropriateness of care rendered

Examination Protocols

• Observers (attorneys, adjusters, representatives) permitted with advance written authorization
• Recording allowed via stipulation or court order
• Written authorization should accompany referrals to avoid scheduling delays
• Examination integrity is maintained — no coaching, interruptions, or participation from observers

A structured, objective chart analysis that answers the questions that matter most in litigation and claims work: What happened? When? Was care appropriate? Do the records support or refute the claim?

Record reviews do not require a physical examination and are available for cases across the country. Medicalogic LLC provides nationwide record review services.

What Record Reviews Address

• Chronology of injury, treatment, and recovery

• Clinical quality and appropriateness of care
• Utilization management — was the treatment medically necessary?
• Pre-existing conditions and alternate causes
• Gaps in treatment, non-compliance, and missing records
• Medicolegal support for IMEs, liability cases, and disability determinations
