IME stands for Independent Medical Exam. If charges are being denied due to IME, that means that the Dr who performed the IME felt that the patient reached maximum medical improvement, or at least that further treatment would not be beneficial. If the treating Dr disagrees, they can continue to treat. The patient needs to get a lawyer and have a hearing. The judge will either side with the independent medical examiner or the treating dr based on the evidence. If the treating dr continues to treat they should submit notes and any other supporting documentation so when the hearing comes, the information is available.
