Every medical transcription service will tell you, "Sure, we can do that too!" when it comes to forensic and expert witness reports:

IMEs
Peer reviews
Addendum reports
Medical record reviews
Multispecialty panel exams
… and others.

However, IMT isn't just any medical transcription service. We thoroughly understand the specialized needs of the medical claims community:

Reports must be of the highest possible quality to stand up in court.
Expert witnesses need to be able to locate information quickly in front of a judge.
Top-quality IMEs can lead to more lucrative referrals for both panel companies and experts.
Reports can be complicated and lengthy, so busy physicians and specialists may not be able to dictate in a single recording session.

Whether you perform independent medical examinations on a regular basis or just once in a while, leave it to the experts when it comes to producing high-caliber documents from your dictation that will help you to shine as a respected professional and help your clients get the compensation they deserve.

Transcription Experience: 24 years
Education: Andrews School (2003)
Favorite Specialties: Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Orthopedics
Brief Bio: A lot of the work I've done in the past had been clinic work, but I did have the opportunity to do some workers' comp/IME reports, which were always very interesting to me. That is what drew me to IMT. I have been an MT from my home for 16+ years as I raised my three children as a single parent and now have the joy of helping to raise my grandson. Whenever possible, I like taking my dog for a walk in a nearby park and spending time with my grandson.

“What gets lost in the big MTSOs is a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. I love working with IMT where I'm treated as a person and not a machine.”

I have been a physician expert for 15 years. I have used IMT for a large part of that time and have worked with Gerri Newman throughout. I have also used multiple other transcription services over those years and none come even close to IMT's quality of work, their incredible attention to detail, the cleanness of their report product and great customer service interface.IMT is truly the "Intel Inside" of my forensic business. My business runs more smoothly and I provide far higher quality products having them under the covers of my operation. They do exceptionally well for rush requests, special requests and really anything I need when it comes to creating quality report products. I cannot say enough about my experience with them. Michael.

Timely and reliable service that has been wonderful even though I use them very part-time! It is SO much better than than my former efforts at voice activated dictation. Their proof reading is such a bonus!

IMT is the best medical transcription service I have worked over my nearly 15 years of doing independent medical examinations. I can't remember the last time their staff made a transcription error. Turnaround is also amazingly fast on a routine basis and President Gerri Newman is always accessible and willing to go the extra mile to handle special situations.

Do you know of a physician or expert who may benefit from IMT's services? Please enter their information below, and we'll reach out to them.

Independent Medical Transcription, Inc. (IMT), got its start in Seattle, Washington, in the year 1994. Our corporation president, Gerri Newman, entered the medical field as a solo transcriptionist for a single physician's office, working under the name "Executive Assistance." With support from a colleague, Gerri soon took on two IME panel companies as clients, discovered the world of independent medical examinations, and became an enduring member of the claims community.

After further growth requiring the contracting of additional transcriptionists, IMT was incorporated in Washington State in April of 2003 and then in September of 2016 in Florida. As of 2020, IMT employs five full-time administrative staff members and works with 16 medical transcriptionists averaging 17.6 years of transcription experience and encompassing numerous medical specialties.

Our corporation president herself is an experienced MT who knows the industry inside and out, being capable of identifying and handling problems before they enter anyone else's radar, all the while treating her ICs^¹ and employees with respect and compensating them well for their expertise and hard work.

IMT believes in strict attention to detail, over-the-top customer service, and dignifying all those who help keep our business thriving. While never neglecting our meticulous requirements for grammar, formatting, and deadlines, we strive to always remain professional, personable, and approachable. We work hard to communicate clearly and efficiently between our clients and transcriptionists so that all know what is required and expected in order to do our jobs well and get your reports done on time.

We also pride ourselves on the fact that we are not a behemoth MTSO^² that ships your dictation to offshore contractors at the lowest possible rate (resulting in a commensurate level of quality). Rather, if you have a special project that carries a high level of complexity or a particularly tight deadline, or if you require urgent assistance with any report issue you may be having, Gerri and her team will be available to work directly with you and our MTs to get the matter resolved to your satisfaction.

Simply by holding to the above standards, IMT has built a sterling reputation among forensic physicians and IME panel companies throughout the Pacific Northwest. Based on this foundation, we are now working nationwide, with administrative staff and medical transcriptionists working from every time zone in the contiguous United States. We are dedicated to helping all of our associates continue to grow, from aiding our MTs to develop their skill sets and become ever more adept at handling complex IME reports to assisting our physicians and experts see an increase in lucrative referrals because of the high-quality reports we help them produce.

IME Transcription Three pages or three hundred pages, we can handle the most complex IME, peer review, record review, and addendum reports you can dictate.		RR Summaries Too many pages to review? Too much irrelevant information in the records? Let us do the grunt work so you can focus your attention on what really matters.
Report Formatting Got a messy transcript that needs a little TLC? We can help bring your report up to the exacting standards needed to be taken seriously in a court of law.		Templates & Macros Do you handle a lot of the same report types or dictate the same text over and over? Save time by having a custom template and quick macro text on hand.
	General Transcription Medical, legal, insurance, business, law enforcement … if you can dictate it, we can transcribe it, and to the same precise standards as all of our other reports!

IME Panel Companies We understand that top-notch reports are the lifeblood of your business, and achieving the necessary level of quality requires more than just basic medical transcription. You need the IME experts!	Physicians & Experts Your credibility when standing before a judge and the quality of any future referrals you may receive relate directly to the accuracy and readability of your IME reports. Find out how we can help with both.
Personal Injury Firms Even the most convincing expert witness may flounder in a courtroom if their forensic report has been poorly transcribed or if they are unable to locate information quickly. We'll help you bring that report up to speed.	Insurance Carriers A properly transcribed IME can stand on its own merits and help even a complex injury case settle out of court. Ultimately, the quality of such reports affects your bottom line, so why leave that to chance?
