What Medical Evaluation Specialists does

Medical Evaluation Specialists (MES Solutions, LLC) is a privately held, U.S.-domiciled provider of independent medical examination (IME) and peer review services, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts. The company operates a national service delivery model across all 50 states, coordinating a credentialed panel of board-certified, active-practice physicians across all medical specialties to support insurance carriers, third-party administrators, self-insured employers, government agencies, and attorneys. Core services include disability, federal-program, workers' compensation, and fitness-for-duty examinations, URAC-accredited peer reviews, medical record retrieval, record reviews with bill audits, and FECA/DBA/LHWCA/Jones Act federal claims support.

MES's technology platform consists of a secure, cloud-based virtual private network with MPLS infrastructure and VDI architecture, AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS in transit, a 24/7 customer web portal for referral submission and case management, and the MES Doctor mobile application for physician workflow on iOS and Android. The MES OMS Platform has held HITRUST CSF certification since 2018, and the company maintains multiple URAC accreditations (IME 2.0, Workers' Compensation, Utilization Management, and IROC Comprehensive), HIPAA/HITECH compliance, and AICPA SOC attestation.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service, transaction-based pricing per examination or per review, with custom workflows and pricing aligned to client requirements. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales to insurers, TPAs, government agencies, and self-insureds, supplemented by a self-serve web portal and dedicated account management. The company operates as MES Solutions, LLC, a Delaware-incorporated entity with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or parent company.
