12 questions about IME report software, answered
What is IME report software?
Any software that helps produce an independent medical examination report. It covers 6 different jobs, and most products do 1 to 3 of them:
- scheduling and case management;
- record intake;
- record review;
- dictation;
- drafting;
- QA and delivery.
See the workflow page for the software that fits each job.
Can AI write an IME report?
AI can assemble the facts from the records and put your exam notes into your template. It should not write the medical opinions: causation, MMI, apportionment and impairment are the examiner's, and the examiner signs. Treat any tool that offers to write those as a liability.
What's the difference between IME case management software and AI record review?
IME case management software runs the business (referrals, scheduling, deadlines, client portals and invoicing), while AI record review reads the medical records and builds a cited chronology and summary. IME companies usually need case management first. Solo examiners usually lose more hours to record review.
How much does IME report software cost?
Pricing models differ: per page, per case, per seat, or monthly subscription. Many case management vendors don't publish prices. The pricing page lists the published prices we found, with the date we checked.
Do IME software vendors publish prices?
Some do. Per-page record review tools and a few monthly plans publish prices; most case management and enterprise tools are quote only. The pricing page counts which is which.
Is there free IME software?
IMEridian's site lists a free plan for up to 5 exams a month, then $49 a month. Several record review tools offer a trial instead of a free plan. Check the pricing page for the date we read each one.
Does IME software need to be HIPAA compliant?
If it stores or processes medical records for a covered entity or business associate, the vendor should sign a Business Associate Agreement. Ask when they sign it: at signup, or after a sales process.
Will my records be used to train AI models?
Ask every vendor in writing, and ask where the contract says it. Also ask which outside AI services touch the records and in which country they run.
How long does AI record review take?
Self-serve AI record review tools return a 2,000-page file in minutes to hours; Medrecords AI (ours) averages about 1 hour per case. Services take days: NaviCase quotes 5 business days and LezDo TechMed 48 hours. Time a closed file during your trial.
What is the best IME report software?
No single IME report software is best, because the products do different jobs. Pick the job that costs you the most hours, then compare the tools that do that job in the vendor table.
Who publishes this site?
