Our physician panel consists of independent contract reviewers (1099), compensated per case.

In California's workers' compensation system, all treatment requests undergo utilization review (UR).

IMR physicians evaluate cases using evidence-based guidelines, including the Medical Treatment Utilization Schedule (MTUS) and Official Disability Guidelines (ODG), and must be skilled in medicolegal writing.
