Independent Medical Examinations (IME)
PPG’s board-certified physicians conduct thorough, unbiased examinations to evaluate the nature, extent, and causation of injuries or medical conditions. IMEs and DMEs support workers’ compensation cases, personal injury claims, disability assessments, and other legal or insurance matters. We deliver clear, defensible reports within 48–72 business hours.
Medical Peer Review & Record Review
We provide expert peer reviews and comprehensive record reviews to assess the appropriateness of care, treatment plans, and medical necessity. Our specialists evaluate documentation against current best practices, offering objective, evidence-based opinions for claims resolution, utilization management, or litigation preparation.
Expert Witness & Testimony
PPG’s experienced physicians serve as expert witnesses in depositions, hearings, and trials. We provide clear, objective medical opinions and testimony supported by clinical expertise and evidence-based practice.
Impairment Ratings
PPG’s physicians perform impairment ratings in accordance with established medical guidelines to determine the degree of permanent impairment. These evaluations are essential for workers’ compensation cases, disability claims, and legal proceedings requiring precise, guideline-based assessments.
