Navigating The IME Nightmare

The purpose of the insurance company is not to obtain an impartial review, but to obtain a medical opinion which could justify the discontinuance and/or denial of benefits.

Preparation is essential to afford any patient a better chance for success in these one-sided and arbitrary examinations arranged by the insurance companies or the long-term disability plans.

The best ways to prepare for these are to send written certified notice to the insurance company requesting a written reply from the company and/or from the doctor indicating what percentage of his/her practice is devoted to diagnosing and treating patients who are totally disabled by the same conditions as well as obtaining a copy of this M.D.s curriculum vitae including any articles he or she has published which related to CFIDS/ME/FM.
