Services
Diagnostics for federal claim decisions.
Reports are structured to answer the administrative and clinical questions that commonly appear in OWCP and FECA files.
Independent medical evaluations
Objective exams addressing causation, diagnosis, work capacity, treatment necessity, and maximum medical improvement.
Impairment ratings
Permanent impairment evaluations with clear reference to accepted conditions, clinical findings, and rating rationale.
Diagnostic evaluations
Clinical diagnostic review, imaging correlation, and focused testing coordination for musculoskeletal and occupational injuries.
Clinic team
Real people behind the record.
Claim files are formal, but the appointment should still feel human. Photography breaks up the document rhythm and gives claimants a clearer sense of the people and rooms behind the report.
These temporary images can be replaced with real in-office staff, records, and exam-room photography as soon as the clinic provides it.

Referral workflow
From authorization to report delivery.
Every file is checked for the administrative details that keep exams useful and reports on the record.
Send referral
Submit claimant information, claim number, requested service, authorization, and the questions the report must answer.
Complete records
Staff confirm CA-1 or CA-2 context, accepted conditions, imaging, treatment notes, and prior restrictions.
Schedule exam
The claimant receives appointment instructions, location details, and a preparation checklist.
Deliver report
The final report is sent through the approved channel with supporting documents and addendum routing if needed.
Records and reports
Bring the file into focus before the exam.
Useful reports depend on complete records. Send the claim history, accepted conditions, diagnostic studies, work restrictions, and the questions that need a medical answer.
- OWCP claim number and accepted condition.
- CA-1 or CA-2 context when available.
- Statement of accepted facts or agency summary.
- Imaging from the last 12 months, including MRI, CT, X-ray, or EMG.
