On June 24th, I hosted a webinar with Gene Keefe of Keefe, Campbell & Associates.

Anyone who regularly requests Independent Medical Evaluations (IMEs) for workers’ compensation claims in Illinois are strongly encouraged to watch the presentation. Gene does an excellent job of discussing the importance of the information you provide the doctor, what information you need to always supply, what questions to ask, and how to ask them. The most valuable part of the presentation, however, is found towards the end during the Q&A. A lot of great questions were asked by those that participated.

Some of the feedback we received:

“Excellent and very relevant!”

“This was very informative. there were questions that i was not aware that we could ask our ime physicians but will ask them now.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the information and answer to questions”

If you would like a copy of the presentation and/or sample cover letters you can reference, please contact me.

On June 10th, I hosted a webinar with Dr. Anand Vora with Illinois Bone and Joint Institute.

Employers, Risk Managers, Case Managers, Attorneys, and Claims Adjusters who regularly encounter workers’ compensation claims involving the foot and ankle are strongly encouraged to watch the presentation. Dr. Vora does an excellent job covering many of the most common acute and cumulative trauma injuries/conditions you’ll encounter. He discusses diagnosis, treatment, causation, complications, and what the recent literature supports.

Some of the feedback we received:

“Excellent presentation, one of the best i’ve attended!”

“Excellent topic choice and presentation for both layman and clinical staff, would have be appropriate for both. thank-you.”
