Independent Medical Exams (IME) Attorneys in Alaska

Independent Medical Exams (IME) are frequently requested by insurance companies to refute payment of a person’s medical expenses or claims. Insurance companies hire doctors to examine people or review medical records. In Alaska, IME doctors do virtually all of their exams exclusively for insurance companies through two IME companies: The Independent Medical Examiners (TIME) and Medical Evaluators of Alaska. The doctors who work for these companies typically live in Washington or Oregon and are flown to Alaska by the IME companies. These out-of-state doctors often disagree with the medical treatment and diagnosis of the treating medical providers. The Law Offices of Steve Sims has substantial experience litigating claims involving IME doctors in Alaska.
