If you find yourself unable to work due to an injury or illness, the last thought on your mind is submitting to an insurance company's demand to be examined by a doctor you've never met. Insurers refer to these events as "Independent Medical Examinations," although under the circumstances they are anything but independent. The "independent" doctor is selected by the insurer, derives income directly from the insurer, and depends on the insurer for future business.
