About IMEs And Panel Evaluations
IME reports include a detailed history of treatment, a review and summarization of records, and a complete physical examination of the patient.
- NMO can coordinate panel evaluations with other physicians in our clinic, if needed.
- Our evaluating physicians are experts in their specialties and in New Mexico law.
- To calculate Impairment Ratings, our doctors do a comprehensive exam to assess the patient’s injury, impairments and functional capabilities.
- We offer second opinions for situations that do not require the complexity of an IME, if they are needed by patients, adjusters and attorneys.
- We work closely with adjusters, attorneys and all other parties to understand and support the complexities of each case.
Along with our Worklink team, which manages on-the-job injuries, you can count on us to simplify the process. To schedule your medical / legal needs with us, please contact our Worklink department at (505) 724-3201.
