Independent Medical Exam (IME) Vendors

Working with Barton’s experienced and credentialed providers means you’re getting access to truly independent medical examinations of individual and clinical records, resulting in high-quality reports for both your business and the patients involved.

Barton's IME staffing program consists of an expansive network of healthcare providers covering all specialties that are qualified to perform exams and reviews across the U.S.

Barton Associates specializes in solving IME staffing challenges, such as:

• Developing treatment programs and return-to-work time frames.
• Diagnosing causal relationship of injury related to claim.
• Reporting on “return to function” status when treatment plans are exceeded and recovery is delayed.
• Producing baselines for conditions and providing claim direction.
• Establishing maximum medical improvement/return to work.
• Producing and obtaining impairment ratings.
• Getting second opinions on proposed surgeries.
• Documenting the current status of claimant’s physical condition.
• Alleviating staffing concerns related to physician shortages.
• Handling the hiring process from start to finish.
• Eliminating administrative costs such as provider payroll, taxes, and benefits.

That’s what makes us the ideal IME staffing partner. Barton is a best-in-class contract medical staffing (locum tenens) firm that places healthcare providers with clients throughout the United States.

“Locum tenens” is Latin for “holding one’s place.” It’s simply another way to say “contract medical staffing.”

A contract medical staffing and recruiting agency such as Barton Associates assigns physicians, NPs, PAs, dentists and CRNAs to short- and long-term positions at hospitals, medical practices, and IME companies across the United States.

There is a critical shortage of healthcare providers in the United States — and this shortage is growing at an alarming rate. In many markets and areas of practice, the supply of doctors is not sufficient to meet the needs of healthcare practices and their patients.

As a result, organizations are increasingly turning to locum tenens firms such as Barton Associates for fast and efficient staffing solutions.
