What is a Independent Medical Examination?

An Independent Medical Examination is an assessment by a medical specialist for the sole purpose of gaining a better understanding of your injury or illness and whether you meet your policy definition. The Specialist will be provided with your medical history, ask you questions, examine you and write a report based on their findings.

Medical reviews may be confronting, but you can ask to bring a support person with you. Shine will assist with arranging your appointments and travel to see the Medical Specialists.
