In coordinating Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs), the case manager plays a crucial role in ensuring that the selected physician possesses the necessary qualifications and expertise for the specific medical concern being evaluated. This involves verifying that the physician has adequate training, experience, and credentials relevant to the particular medical issue at hand. Such attention to detail is vital because the accuracy and reliability of the IME can significantly impact patient management, treatment decisions, and legal implications in cases like workers' compensation or disability assessments.

The case manager serves as a pivotal liaison between patients, healthcare providers, and insurance companies, thus ensuring that the examination meets the specific requirements for the case being addressed. By focusing on the credentials of the physician, the case manager helps to maintain the integrity of the medical examination process and protects the interests of all parties involved.
