Medical-Legal Transcription Services for IME, QME and AME Reports
One team for every evaluation report you dictate: independent medical exams, QME and AME reports, peer reviews, record reviews and addenda, across California, Ohio, Florida and New York.
The short answer
Medical-legal transcription services turn a physician's dictated evaluation into a finished report that will be read by insurers, attorneys and judges. IME & QME Transcription types IME, QME, AME, peer-review and record-review dictation to each office's template, with a separate quality review, a 24-hour standard turnaround and an 18-hour STAT option.
What makes medical-legal transcription different from general transcription?
A medical-legal report is evidence. Opinions on causation, apportionment and impairment are read line by line by the other side, so a changed word or a wrong figure can matter. General transcription is typed for readability; medical-legal transcription is typed for accuracy to the dictation and to the report format each state's system expects.
Which states do you work with?
California (QME, AME, PR-4), Ohio (BWC independent medical exams), Florida (IMEs and Expert Medical Advisor reports) and New York (WCB IMEs, IME-4 and IME-5). Each state hub explains the formats we type.
- California: QME, panel QME, AME and PR-4 reports
- Ohio: IME reports for BWC claims
- Florida: IME and Expert Medical Advisor reports
- New York: IME reports, IME-4 and IME-5 forms
How does the workflow run?
You dictate as you normally do and send the audio through the encrypted upload. A transcriptionist who works on that report family types the draft to your template, a separate reviewer checks it, and the document comes back ready for your review and signature.
- Encrypted upload, or start with one free sample file
- Typed to your existing template, headings and signature block
- Separate QA pass for terminology, figures, dates and medications
- Unclear audio is flagged for you instead of guessed
- Returned in Word or your preferred format
How are files protected?
Audio and finished reports are transferred and stored encrypted, with a record of who accessed each file. The people who handle your dictation are under signed NDAs, and a BAA can be signed before the first file is sent. Please do not put patient details in the quote form; use the upload instead.
