  • Virtual IMEs

    Our Virtual IME (V-IME) is performed at a cooperating physical therapy clinic in convenient locations. The injured person is physically present with a qualified physical therapist while the physician connects to the exam via a (HIPAA-compliant) Zoom link. The V-IME then operates similarly to an in-person IME. A V-IME is a convenient option when the injured person is in a rural location, minimizing travel time to be evaluated by a specialist who may otherwise be inaccessible.

"I have been impressed with the professionalism and independent thinking that goes into each evaluation. Injured parties are evaluated independently and each case is examined thoroughly. It is nice that the injured parties don't have to drive 4 hours to get the expertise they would get in Denver or Omaha."

AARON W., Partnering Physical Therapist

"I am very satisfied with Merit Medical and all the providers expertise. I am very impressed with the Virtual IME service which we recently utilized so the team member didn’t have to drive over 2 hours. With the assistance of Jacobsen Therapy Services, the team member was able to be evaluated as if the provider was in the room. I recommend Merit Medical for all IME needs."

ANNIE F., Nurse/Case Manager

"I have had the opportunity of working with Merit for the past 5 years. It has been a pleasure working with the physicians associated with Merit. They have the ability to put the injured parties and evaluating clinicians at ease, making it a positive experience for everyone involved.
Working in a rural area, it has been a great service for the injured parties needing an evaluation. It cuts down on their travel and the time needed to go through the evaluation process. All of the injured parties I have worked with have appreciated the convenience of having the service closer to home.
As a clinician participating in the exams I appreciate the ease of the process and the guidance of the evaluating physicians. I have enjoyed the experience with Merit and feel it is a great service."
