FAQ

What goes into an independent medical evaluation and an impairment rating evaluation?

The examinee will fill out detailed questionnaires and history forms, which Dr. Cichon will review. Dr. Cichon will perform a physical examination after the evaluation's history section. Additionally, any diagnostic images and medical data supplied by the referral source will be reviewed by Dr. Cichon. It is the responsibility of the examinee to bring diagnostic films and any other data that they may like Dr. Cichon to look through and include in the report. These extra documents and videos must be supplied in advance of the evaluation or no later than the evaluation day. There is no doctor-patient interaction on Independent Medical Evaluations and Impairment Ratings because Dr. Cichon won't be giving the examinee any advice or treatment that may be seen as creating a relationship between a doctor and a patient.

Who receives the report?

When the report is finished, a copy is sent to the referring source, who then sends a copy to the examinee.

Who may refer Dr. Cichon for IMEs, Impairment Rating Evaluations, and other medicolegal work?
