Independent

Medical Exams (IMEs)

At MD Nexus Pros, our Independent Medical Exams (IMEs) are ideal for veterans facing complex or denied VA claims. Each IME is conducted by a U.S.-licensed physician and includes a full medical assessment, clinical report, and—if needed—a Nexus Letter and completed DBQ. Whether in person or via telehealth, our exams are thorough, secure, and tailored to your case.

What Is an Independent Medical Exam (IME)?

An Independent Medical Examination (IME) is a thorough evaluation conducted by a qualified physician to assess the severity and impact of a veteran’s medical condition.

IMEs are particularly valuable for appeals, complex cases, or when the VA requests an outside opinion. At MD Nexus Pros, we ensure every IME delivers a comprehensive clinical assessment, backed by necessary documentation to support your case.

A well-prepared IME can be the key factor in having your claim reconsidered, approved, or upgraded.

What’s Included ?

Receive a thorough in-person or telehealth exam, complete report, optional Nexus Letter or DBQ, and secure delivery—all handled by board-certified, HIPAA-compliant U.S. physicians.

Is an IME Right for You?

Independent Medical Exams help support denied or complex VA claims by providing physician-backed medical evidence, clear clinical insight, and documentation to strengthen appeals and disability cases.
