amednews: Social media the latest tool for health care fraud investigators :: Feb. 28, 2011 ... American Medical News

As social media sites have grown more popular, so has their use by insurance companies that want to know more about the people they insure.

Disability, medical liability and workers' compensation insurers now regularly use Facebook and Twitter to investigate potential fraud, experts say.

And health insurers are using online profiling during the underwriting process. That includes looking at Facebook and Twitter posts or geolocation services such as Foursquare to see where current or prospective members go and what they do, said Owen Tripp, co-founder and chief operating officer of Reputation.com, a Redwood City, Calif.-based firm that helps people and companies monitor and manage their online profiles.

"Insurance companies and representatives of insurance companies are using social media to get an edge on their competition in understanding the risk profile of the insured," he said.

American Board of Independent Medical Examiners (ABIME):"The foundation of mission of the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners (ABIME) is the belief that certification of independent medical examiners benefits the public good. This belief is based on the tenet that credentialed physicians have demonstrated that they possess the knowledge, skills, experience, and abilities required for the attainment of their certification as a Certified Independent Medical Examiners, (CIME)TM. Credentials, therefore, are reliable indicators of the professional’s capacity to perform independent medical and impairment evaluations according to the profession’s performance standards. Certification enables the public to make informed decisions regarding the selection and use of independent medical examiners."

The "Independent" Medical Examination, Evan K. Aidman, Esq.:"The insurance company has the right in every personal injury case to have you examined by a doctor it chooses. This examination represents the third stage of the discovery process. The insurance lawyers like to refer to this as an "independent medical exam" or an IME. The IME is anything but independent and no insurance lawyer will claim otherwise outside the courtroom, that is, not with a straight face. The doctors paid by the insurance company strain to offer opinions that help the insurance company. Also, the IME doctor’s medical skills may be secondary in importance to his skills at testifying in a compelling and convincing manner."

Unjust Treatment: 'Independent' Medical Examinations & Workers Compensation in New York State, York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health:"Each year approximately 500,000 occupational illnesses and injuries are reported to the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. Of these, several thousand claims for occupational disease are challenged by workers' compensation insurance carriers for reasons that frequently defy close medical analysis and too often defy common sense. With millions of dollars in profit at stake, insurance carriers: challenge valid occupational disease claims, which results in workers often failing to pursue their cases or eventually settling for less than they are entitled to;"

Independent Medical Examinations, Dr. Samuel M. Rock:"Independent Medical Examinations concentrate on the patient's progress in psychotherapy (whether in the No-Fault arena or the Workmen's Compensation area). I was asked to do an Independent Medical Examination for a law firm. (Usually, IME companies ask for causality connections- which exist between the accident and the mental problems of the claimants. In addition, they usually require the provider to evaluate Maximum Medical Improvement and to determine whether there is a psychological disability.) In this legal case, I was asked to determine if a psychological condition continued to exist within the claimant."

Independent Medical Examinations, By Attorney James A. Pitts, Schoone, Leuck, Kelley, Pitts & Knurr, S.C.:"Whenever any person puts his or her mental or physical condition at issue in any case in which compensation is sought, the insurance company or other responsible party defending the case has a right to have a physician of its own choice examine the claimant. The logic of this general rule cannot be questioned. The manner in which so-called "independent medical examinations" are carried out is often fraught with controversy. If the claimant is not properly prepared for what lies ahead, the claim can be lost or seriously damaged. The procedural rules governing independent medical examinations vary among federal and state jurisdictions for tort cases, as well as for cases involving statutory claims such as workers compensation. Several general requirements are universal."

Independent Medical Examinations (IME), State of Wyoming, Department of Employment:"(a) Medical examinations may be requested by either the Division or your employer. The examination is a medical evaluation of your condition. If an assessment of your permanent physical impairment is required, you will receive an impairment rating. However, the doctor providing this examination/assessment will not be taking over your medical care. You should continue to see your primary health care provider."
