Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs)
Independent Medical Examinations are unbiased evaluations performed by licensed medical experts to assess injuries, illnesses, or disabilities for insurance claims, legal disputes, or employment decisions. These examinations offer objective analysis to determine the extent of a medical condition, treatment needs, and return-to-work readiness. At SMC, we provide thorough, professional IMEs tailored to meet the specific needs of insurance carriers, legal teams, and employers. Our commitment to precision and impartiality ensures accurate outcomes that help resolve disputes and support informed decisions.
Prior Authorization Request (PAR) Reviews
Level 2 Prior Authorization Request (PAR) Reviews provide a second layer of evaluation for treatment or medication requests to determine their medical necessity and adherence to established care protocols. These in-depth reviews are conducted by highly trained professionals who assess the clinical details, patient history, and applicable guidelines. Our process helps streamline approvals, reduce delays, and support optimal care decisions for providers, insurers, and patients alike.
Prescription Medication Reviews
Prescription Medication Reviews are comprehensive evaluations of prescribed medications to assess their appropriateness, efficacy, and compliance with medical standards. These reviews help identify potential risks such as overprescribing, drug interactions, or noncompliance with treatment guidelines. Our team of experts works to ensure that patients receive safe and effective medication regimens tailored to their conditions. By providing clarity and reducing unnecessary costs, we support better health outcomes for patients and improve decision-making for providers and insurers.
Peer Reviews/Record Reviews
Peer Reviews and Record Reviews involve a meticulous analysis of medical records by experienced healthcare professionals to evaluate the appropriateness, necessity, and quality of care provided. These reviews are essential for resolving disputes, addressing claim denials, and ensuring compliance with medical and legal standards. At SMC, our reviewers provide unbiased, detailed reports that help clients make well-informed decisions. By identifying discrepancies or validating treatments, we support cost containment and promote accountability in medical practices.
207a & 207c Examinations
207a and 207c Examinations are specialized assessments mandated by New York State law for public employees, such as firefighters and police officers, who claim work-related injuries or illnesses. These examinations determine eligibility for benefits under Sections 207a and 207c, which provide financial support for line-of-duty injuries. Our evaluators bring extensive knowledge of these statutes and their specific requirements, ensuring accurate assessments that respect the unique circumstances of first responders and public employees. We are dedicated to delivering fair and impartial evaluations that uphold the integrity of the process.
Fit for Duty Examinations
Fit for Duty Examinations are critical assessments designed to evaluate whether an employee can safely and effectively perform the essential duties of their job following an illness, injury, or extended absence. These evaluations help employers ensure workplace safety, reduce liability, and maintain compliance with health and labor regulations. Our expert evaluators consider physical, mental, and emotional factors to provide a comprehensive determination. We work closely with employers to deliver actionable insights that prioritize both employee well-being and organizational safety.
SLU/Permanency Advisory Report
Schedule Loss of Use/Permanency Advisory Reports offer an in-depth analysis of the permanency opinions rendered by attending physicians. By meticulously reviewing pertinent records, a medical doctor will evaluate all requirements considered for impairment opinions, and identify discrepancies or validate the figures or the rankings provided and provide rationale for such findings. This valuable tool assists our clients in making well-informed strategical decisions.
