About the SEAK National Directory of Independent Medical Examiners
What is the SEAK, Inc. National Directory of Independent Medical Examiners?
The SEAK, Inc. Directory of Independent Medical Examiners is a simple, cost effective and professional marketing resource for doctors who perform IME exams.
The IME Directory provides detailed biographical and contact data about independent medical examiners
to over 30,000 IME referral sources
including:
Insurance Companies, IME Companies, Claims Managers, Adjusters, Case
Managers, Self-Insureds, Large Employers, Third Party
Administrators, Attorneys, Legal Nurse Consultants, Peer Review
Companies and Disability Consulting Companies.
This data is also provided through this
interactive website, which receives millions of hits per year.
What has been the response?
Excellent. The vast majority of the listed IME doctors are so satisfied that they renew their listings, year after year.
Here's what some of your colleagues have to say about the SEAK Directory:
"My most important source of new contacts for IMEs during the
past year."
Robert Galatzer-Levy, MD, Chicago, IL
"This Directory should be used by all physicians interested in
performing IMEs."
Kevin Planchar, MD, Stamford, CT
"The cost was, as you promised, offset very quickly. Add me to
your list of satisfied clients."
Peter Gruen, MD, Los Angeles, CA
"The Directory has increased the number of referrals received."
Carmen Serrano, MD, San Juan, PR
"A valuable source of IME referrals."
Alvin McKenzie, MD, Edmonton, AB
"The Directory has increased the number of IMEs, especially for
out of town referral organizations."
V.G. Raghavan, MD, Youngstown, OH
"Provides me with at least two new referral sources each year."
Larry Nahmias, MD, Houston, TX
"The Directory was worked very well for my clinic and staff."
J.E. Tijmes, MD, McAllen, TX
"Has opened the door to new referral sources for my forensic
practice."
Richard L. Steig, MD, Denver, CO
"A great source of referrals."
Franco Rizzolo, DC, Newark, NJ
"Resulted in a marked increase in my IME work."
Robert Friedman, MD, Jupiter, FL
"Professional, helpful and productive."
Paul Orr, MD, Allentown, PA
"I receive frequent calls from sources who otherwise would not
know of my interest in providing IME services."
Chris Fevurly, MD, Lawrence, KS
“Based on the SEAK IME Directory I have established relationships
with 3 companies to do case review on an ongoing basis - the total
number of cases per year is perhaps 250. Another company has
contracted with me for a fairly substantial writing/education
project. Four major contracts like this in a year with recurring
business from each, amounts to a very substantial amount of business
- just about on the verge of what I can handle as a solo
practitioner in addition to my clinical practice.”

Here is just a few of the referral sources who have recently
contacted us about our IME Directory:
"I just received a copy of the SEAK Directory of Independent Medical
Examiners. I will get a lot of use from this! I wanted to see if I
could also get a copy of the National Directory of Experts as my
caseload is over 200 and I am always trying to track down experts.
I work as a claims analyst for a third party administrator and my
main client is a group of 33 community hospitals and their
physicians. THANKS!"

"I wanted to let you know that I have already used your IME Directory and love it! I told the doctors that I received their names from SEAK and praised the fact that you were so helpful with my questions. Because our requests for medical reviews are always increasing, the SEAK network will be used a lot from Professional Disability Associates (PDA) the vendor that I work for."

"I would like to request 5 copies of the SEAK IME Directory and I will provide one to my Executive level leadership so that they can offer it to the other supervisors across the US."

weekly basis for IME or Peer Review referrals received from our clients.
I’ve forwarded your SEAK IME Directory to approximately 20 team members
located all over the U.S. They handle a high volume of IME
referrals. It's great to know they’ve contacted you."
Thanks and have a great weekend.

No. Listed IME doctors are contacted directly by referral sources, and set and directly bill for their entire agreed upon fee without any additional costs.

A one-year listing is $495 often less than the cost of a single Independent Medical Exam. A one year listing includes a listing in the next print directory as well as a listing on our website, SEAK National Directory Of Independent Medical Examiners.
What guarantees do I have that this service will help me?
