The Psychiatry Group provides independent psychiatric medical examinations for authorized workers’ compensation, insurance, and legal referrals. These evaluations review relevant medical documentation, psychiatric history, and clinical findings to address specific questions about a person’s mental health and its relationship to a claim or case. An IME is an independent assessment and is separate from ongoing psychiatric treatment.
Independent evaluation. This is not treatment.
Dr. Asif R. Malik, MD provides independent psychiatric medical examinations for attorneys, insurance carriers, employers, workers’ compensation organizations, IME companies, and other authorized referral sources.
Each evaluation is performed objectively and is based on a comprehensive review of available medical records, clinical information, the examination when applicable, and relevant medical and jurisdictional standards.
A Psychiatric Independent Medical Examination is an objective psychiatric evaluation performed to address specific medical-legal questions. Depending on the referral, an evaluation may address psychiatric diagnosis, causation, treatment recommendations, functional limitations, work capacity, impairment, disability, and maximum medical improvement.
Psychiatric IMEs may be requested in connection with workers’ compensation matters, disability claims, personal injury cases, employment-related matters, and other medical-legal proceedings.
The clinician establishes a treatment relationship and provides applicable clinical care.
The psychiatrist performs an independent evaluation for a defined medical, legal, or claim purpose. The psychiatrist is not acting as the patient’s treating psychiatrist unless separately established under appropriate circumstances.
