What IMEC does

IMEC (Independent Medical Evaluation Company, LLC) is a privately held, woman-owned professional services firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Carthage, New York. The company coordinates independent medical evaluations (IMEs) for the legal profession, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators, providing end-to-end service from physician scheduling and credentialing through report generation, quality assurance review, and distribution to all relevant parties including attorneys, the New York State Workers' Compensation Board, and insurance companies. IMEC's product portfolio spans New York State Workers' Compensation evaluations, no-fault examinations, and 19+ additional examination types covering auto liability, disability retirement, federal workers' compensation, fitness for duty, functional capacity evaluations, peer review, and more, supported by a pre-credentialed panel of board-certified physicians across 40+ medical specialties. The company claims a 3-day report turnaround and a flawless record of no report rejections for untimely filing or improper notification across its operating history.

The technology infrastructure is minimal and service-oriented rather than product-oriented: a legacy secure client login portal (legacy.imecnys.com), online scheduling/contact forms, and internal QA workflows. Revenue is generated on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go professional services model with pricing described as competitive but not publicly disclosed; the company emphasizes a 'your cost will be the same as your benefit' positioning. IMEC operates primarily within New York State while coordinating out-of-state evaluations nationally, serving a B2B client base acquired through direct phone outreach, the website, and word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied clients in the legal and insurance industries. Founded by Amy McEathron, who remains owner and president, IMEC has grown organically with no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no acquisitions, scaling to an 11-50 employee organization through continuous incremental hiring since 2019.

Direct peers

• Dane Street: National IME and peer review provider serving insurance carriers, TPAs, and law firms. Closest direct peer to IMEC in terms of customer base and service model, but with national geographic footprint and tech-driven intake.
• MES Solutions: Provider of independent medical evaluations, peer reviews, and medical record reviews for workers' compensation, auto liability, and disability markets. Comparable to IMEC across service portfolio and customer segments (carriers, TPAs, attorneys).
• PIE (Professional Independent Evaluations): National IME scheduling and coordination provider for insurance carriers and attorneys. Direct competitor in the IME coordination segment with similar customer base and service model to IMEC.
• Axiom Medical: Occupational health services company providing IMEs, fitness-for-duty exams, and workers' compensation case management. Directly comparable to IMEC's occupational health IME and WC evaluation focus.

Broad incumbents
