M&D Federal Diagnostics provides exam-based and record-based diagnostic services for federal workers' compensation files under OWCP and FECA.
Every report names the records reviewed, the clinical findings, and the questions answered. The goal is a document that a claims examiner can use without decoding medical shorthand.
Objective exam and medical opinion for disputed or unclear clinical questions in a federal workers' compensation file.
Permanent impairment evaluations that connect accepted conditions, objective findings, and rating rationale.
Focused clinical review and diagnostic correlation for occupational injury questions.
When a request is ambiguous, the records office helps identify whether the file needs an exam, a rating, a record review, or an addendum.
| IME | Best when the file needs a physician exam and an opinion on causation, diagnosis, work capacity, MMI, or treatment plan. |
|---|---|
| Impairment rating | Best when the accepted condition is stable and the file needs a permanent impairment opinion. |
| Records review | Best when the question can be answered from existing medical records, imaging, and prior opinions. |
| Addendum | Best when a completed report needs clarification after new records or examiner questions are supplied. |
Send the claim number, accepted condition, requested service, and authorization source.
Submit the statement of accepted facts, imaging, notes, restrictions, and specific question set.
The clinician reviews records, examines the claimant when required, and documents objective findings.
The final report is sent through the approved channel with addendum routing available.
