INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EVALUATION (IME) FEES

MARCH 27, 1996

The Medical Advisory Committee to the North Carolina Industrial Commission met on March 14, 1996, to review the contested cases. The Committee recommended at this meeting that the Commission set a new code and new fees for an independent medical evaluation which involves a review of medical records.

The Commission, in review of the Committee’s recommendation, and upon further discussion, have decided to adopt the following codes, to be used for all independent medical evaluations, effective March 1, 1996, and to set the following fees based upon time expended for review of medical records. If a physical examination is performed, additional CPT codes may be used.

 

CODE IME 01 - 1 hour $100.00
CODE IME 02 - 2 hours $200.00
CODE IME 03 - 3 hours or more $400.00
