Compulsory Medical Examinations at FTG Ortho

Accurate, Independent, and Legally-Compliant Orthopedic Evaluations

FTG Ortho provides Compulsory Medical Examinations (CMEs) for legal, insurance, and workers’ compensation purposes. Our board-certified orthopedic specialists deliver thorough, unbiased evaluations that help insurers, employers, attorneys, and third-party administrators make informed decisions regarding injury claims and return-to-work status.

We understand the importance of objectivity and clarity in these cases. That’s why every examination is conducted with precision, supported by evidence-based orthopedic expertise, and fully compliant with legal and industry standards.

What is a Compulsory Medical Examination?

A Compulsory Medical Examination, sometimes referred to as an Independent Medical Examination (IME), is a detailed orthopedic evaluation requested by an employer, insurance carrier, or legal representative. These exams are typically required in cases involving:

Workers’ compensation claims
Personal injury lawsuits
Auto accidents
Disability assessments
Liability disputes

Unlike a typical clinical visit, the CME is not for treatment—it is conducted to objectively assess the nature, extent, and cause of an injury or physical condition.

What to Expect During the Evaluation

At FTG Ortho, each CME is conducted by a licensed and board-certified orthopedic specialist. The evaluation may include:

A full review of medical records and imaging
A comprehensive physical examination
Diagnostic testing (if applicable)
Functional assessments
A written medical report with findings, opinions, and conclusions

We take the time to assess every detail and ensure our documentation is clear, comprehensive, and defensible in legal and administrative proceedings.
