Neuropsychiatric Independent Medical Examination
Direct Answer
A neuropsychiatric IME conducted by Dr. Lodhi provides an objective, unbiased assessment of an individual's neuropsychiatric diagnoses, causation, functional impairment, treatment needs, and prognosis. Unlike a standard psychiatric IME, Dr. Lodhi's BNNP fellowship training enables cognitive screening, neuroimaging correlation, and differentiation of organic from functional conditions, essential when TBI, neurocognitive disorders, or brain-based impairment is claimed. Reports are detailed, clearly written, and structured for use in litigation, claims adjudication, and administrative proceedings.
IME Process
Dr. Lodhi's IME process includes comprehensive review of all available medical, psychiatric, neurological, and employment records; structured clinical interview and mental status examination; cognitive screening when indicated; correlation with neuroimaging and neuropsychological testing when available; assessment of symptom validity and effort; and preparation of a detailed written report addressing specific referral questions with clearly stated opinions and their medical bases.
