These evaluations assess psychiatric conditions, relevant medical history, and clinical findings related to workplace injury claims. An IME is an independent evaluation, not ongoing psychiatric treatment, and is conducted according to the referral questions and applicable requirements.
A psychiatric IME (independent medical examination) is an objective evaluation performed to answer specific questions in a Washington workers’ compensation or medical-legal matter. Dr. Asif R. Malik, MD performs these evaluations.
