IME Transcription

Experts in IME Transcription

Your in-house MT or transcription service is no doubt great at handling your day-to-day office notes and correspondence, but dropping an hour-long IME dictation in your MT's lap is like asking your accountant to take over your landscaping: The job may very well get done, but will it get done very well?

At Independent Medical Transcription, Inc., all of our MTs have undergone rigorous testing and supervised training in order to become IME experts. What does that mean for you?

We are adept at not only medical terms (anatomy, physiology, pharmaceuticals, etc.) but also legal and insurance industry terminology specific to medico-legal reviews and forensic reports.
We understand that such reports are legal documents that reflect upon you as a professional and must be able to stand up in a court of law.
By outsourcing lengthy and complex IME dictations, you have fewer questions to answer, and your office staff is free to care better for their daily tasks.

Why Reports from IMT Are Better:
Dates are written out to ensure accuracy.	Abbreviations are expanded for improved clarity.	Reviewer's comments are made to stand out from surrounding text.
Reports are carefully formatted for maximum readability and ease of locating information.	Records are organized chronologically, even if you didn't have time to dictate them that way.	Dictate as much or as little as you'd like at one time, and review and edit your report in progress at any point.
Possible discrepancies or oversights and any questions from the MT will be clearly flagged so you can examine and resolve them before sending out your report.	Information from available cover letter(s) will be incorporated into the report, including reviewer questions buried in the text that may have been overlooked.	Reports will always be completed according to your preferences, maintaining the highest level of professionalism, promptness, and completeness.

Most transcription companies hand-check only a small random sampling of their reports, just to identify any major issues their MTs may be having.
At IMT, every report is processed by our quality assurance team to ensure that even minor problems don't begin to creep into your important documents.
Our thorough review process adds value, allowing us to identify errors and carefully screen each report we transcribe for completeness, clarity, and quality.

In medical transcription, you get what you pay for, so only pay for the very best!

If you're researching transcription services, you've probably noticed most of them bragging about their 24-hour turnaround time (TAT) on every report, which is perfect for daily office notes and general correspondence. From experience, however, we know that when it comes to lengthy IME dictations, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for TAT. Rather, turnaround can better be determined based on the specific needs of a particular report. Maintaining some flexibility with turnaround times allows us to:

… prioritize reports according to due date and anticipated length so that you get the highest-caliber documents when you need them.
… take advantage of the quality and consistency benefits of a single MT working on your report from start to finish.
… perform rush jobs and weekend work at no additional charge.

In the end, if your transcription service has promised a 24-hour turnaround on your 100-page IME, you'd better check it carefully, because they probably didn't!

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.
