An Independent Pulmonary Medicine Evaluation
Respiratory claims may require a review of exposure history, pulmonary testing, treatment and changes in breathing capacity. MLP IME matches the assignment with pulmonologists whose experience fits the lung condition and questions presented.
A pulmonary IME can address causation, impairment, disability, work restrictions and treatment necessity within the agreed scope. Your case manager coordinates records and scheduling so the pulmonologist has the material needed for the evaluation.
Assignments may involve workers’ compensation, personal injury, disability or other claims requiring an independent medical opinion.
IME coordination includes:
- Physician matching
- Records collection and organization
- Examination scheduling
- Causation and impairment questions
- Disability and work restrictions
- Treatment-necessity review
- Report tracking and internal QA
- Supplemental report coordination

FAQs
It is an independent medical examination by a pulmonologist to address defined questions about a condition, injury, treatment or functional limitation. The evaluation scope is established for the assignment.
The requested scope may include causation, impairment, disability, work restrictions, treatment necessity or recovery. The physician determines what the available medical evidence supports.
Provide the condition, relevant records and testing, examination location, deadline and specific questions. Your case manager confirms the materials and logistics needed by the pulmonologist.
Timing depends on physician availability, location, records and the scope of the assignment. Share any deadlines at referral so MLP can assess available options.
MLP works with law firms, insurance carriers, third-party administrators, employers and corporate clients rather than directly with claimants.
