A comprehensive written IME report — covering diagnosis, causation, treatment necessity, and prognosis — is delivered to the requesting party.
Insurance carriers, defense attorneys, and TPAs choose ESO Consultants because our credentialing standards, exam locations, and state contract status meet the demands of high-stakes claims.
ESO Consultants is an OSC-certified provider with the NY State Office of the State Comptroller — the same rigorous vetting standard required for state IME work. That credential signals quality to every carrier and court.

All exam sites are ADA-compliant with elevator access, accessible restrooms, and easy access to public transit. Claimants with mobility limitations are accommodated without advance notice.
Consistent business-hours availability across all specialties. Scheduling is straightforward — no rotating on-call panels or unpredictable physician availability.
Every IME produces a detailed written report covering diagnosis, causation, maximum medical improvement, treatment necessity, prognosis, and — where applicable — permanent impairment ratings.

Answers to the questions insurance professionals and attorneys ask most before scheduling.
An Independent Medical Examination is an objective medical evaluation conducted by a physician who is not the claimant's treating provider. IMEs are used by insurance carriers, law firms, workers' compensation boards, and employers to obtain an unbiased professional opinion on a claimant's diagnosis, causation, functional capacity, and need for future treatment. ESO Consultants provides IMEs through ABMS board-certified physicians in Orthopedic Surgery, Neurology/Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry.
Most IME appointments are scheduled in 30–60 minute blocks, depending on the specialty and complexity of the case. Orthopedic and neurological exams typically run 45–60 minutes; psychiatric IMEs may run 60–90 minutes for a thorough evaluation. Written reports are delivered within the timeframe specified in your service agreement — standard delivery is 5–7 business days after the examination date.
ESO Consultants bills the requesting party — insurance carrier, law firm, TPA, or employer — directly. We do not bill claimants. Rates are established in advance and confirmed in writing before the first appointment is scheduled. As a NY State OSC contract holder, our pricing follows structured fee schedules. Contact us at (914) 292-9412 or info@esoconsultants.com for a rate sheet and service agreement.
All ESO Consultants IME examinations take place at wheelchair-accessible Manhattan locations reachable by subway, bus, or car. Exact exam site addresses are confirmed at the time of scheduling based on specialty and physician availability. All locations are fully ADA-compliant with elevator access, accessible restrooms, and waiting areas. Claimants traveling from the outer boroughs or New Jersey will find all locations on major transit lines.
ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialties) board certification is the gold standard for physician credentialing in the United States. Board-certified physicians have completed rigorous specialty residency training, passed comprehensive written and practical examinations, and maintain ongoing continuing education requirements. In IME contexts, ABMS certification adds significant weight to the physician's opinion and is frequently required or strongly preferred by courts, insurance carriers, and regulatory bodies reviewing contested claims. Every ESO Consultants IME physician is ABMS board-certified in their specialty area and holds an active NY State medical license.
