Scope Medical

What Scope Medical does

Scope Medical, LLC is a privately held, Massachusetts-based provider of independent medical examination (IME) and medico-legal review services. Founded in 2001 by Kathleen D'Amore and Katherine Jordan, the company connects insurance carriers, attorneys, independent adjusters, rehabilitation case managers, and vocational services providers with a curated network of more than 500 board-certified physicians across 30+ medical specialties. Scope's core services include Independent Medical Examinations, Record Reviews (RORs), Peer Reviews, Bill Audits, Diagnostic/Film Reviews, Disability Examinations, Functional Capacity Evaluations, Fitness for Duty evaluations, Psychiatric Profiles, Second Surgical Opinions, and claims-related legal support through expert testimony, depositions, and court appearances.

The company operates 16 exam locations across New England (Stoneham headquarters plus Woburn, Newton, Taunton, Worcester, Dorchester, Brockton, Fall River, Yarmouthport, Springfield, and others) while coordinating nationwide IME scheduling through a remote-coordination model. Services are delivered on a sales-led, professional-services basis: pricing is custom-quoted per case based on specialty and complexity, contracts run multi-year with enterprise insurance and legal clients, and intake is funneled through four channels — online referral form (24/7), phone, fax, and email. The internal team is small (approximately seven named staff covering operations, scheduling, quality review, and legal services), with the bulk of clinical capacity sourced from independent contractor physicians managed through the company's scheduling and report-delivery platform.

Scope's underlying technology consists of workflow software for electronic appointment scheduling, secure file upload (up to 10 medical records per referral), online client portal access, toll-free physician dictation with 24-hour transcription and electronic signature, and secure telehealth for remote IMEs. Since founding, Scope has completed more than 20,000 IMEs and reviews for a roster of approximately 200-300+ clients, with revenue not publicly disclosed and no external institutional funding, M&A activity, or equity transactions identified in the source material.
