Independent Medical Examinations

Some cases benefit from an independent clinical assessment to clarify the patient’s condition, functional status, treatment needs or suitability for a proposed next step.

When an independent assessment may help

An independent medical examination can be useful where there is uncertainty around diagnosis, recovery, travel readiness, capacity, functional ability or the level of support a patient may require.

Supporting case decisions

Findings can help insurers, assistance companies and other organisations determine whether further treatment is required, whether discharge planning should progress or whether travel and transport options can be considered.

Integrated with case management

Where an assessment forms part of a live international case, SkyCare Assistance can connect the findings directly into ongoing medical case management, hospital liaison and transport planning.
