About This Association
The foundation of the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners’ (ABIME) mission is the idea that accreditation of Independent Medical Examiners (IME Providers) by training and examination and lifelong maintenance of certification (MOC) benefits the public good. This conviction is based on the experience that certified doctors and healthcare providers by attaining the ABIME Certification as a Certified Independent Medical Examiners, (CIMETM) have demonstrated that they possess the essential knowledge, skills, experience, and abilities to perform high quality Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) and Personal injury assessments using standard guidelines such as AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment © as well as other current scientific standards. Independent medical examinations (IMEs) are evaluations performed by an evaluator not involved in the care of the examinee, for clarifying clinical and case and or claims related Medicolegal issues including Scientific Causation analysis, work capacity, return to work, Maximum degree of Medical improvement, Impairment and disability assessment etc. IMEs are an important component of Personal injury claims, workers’ compensation systems, and are also used to clarify other disability or liability associated questions. Impairment evaluations are often used to provide a more objective understanding of the residual impact of an injury or illness.
