To determine ability levels, expected recovery timelines, treatment, or appropriate return to work planning, insurers and/or employers will often require Independent Medical Opinion (IME) or measurement (FCE), and increasingly access to mental health care and assessments. In some cases, an Employer may be dealing with challenging matters that involve arbitrators or hearings officers.
