IME Watchdog Appointment Notifications · IME Watchdog, Inc.

What we send

IME Watchdog attends independent medical examinations (IMEs) on behalf of the examinee’s law firm. With the examinee’s consent, we may send them texts about that appointment only: a booking confirmation, reminders before the appointment (for example a week before, the day before and about an hour before), and a notice if the appointment is rescheduled or cancelled. We never send marketing messages. Message frequency varies with appointment activity — usually up to four messages per examination; a reschedule or cancellation adds a notice, and a rescheduled appointment is reminded again. Message and data rates may apply.

How examinees opt in

  1. The examinee’s law firm books the examination on our web platform (app.imewatchdog.com). The booking form requires a law-firm login.
  2. Before booking, the firm asks the examinee whether they agree to receive texts from IME Watchdog, using this script:
    “IME Watchdog, the company attending your medical exam with you, may send you text messages about this appointment — a confirmation, reminders before the appointment (for example a week before, the day before and about an hour before), and any changes — at this mobile number. Message and data rates may apply, and you can reply STOP at any time to stop them. Is that OK?”
  3. Only if the examinee says yes does the firm enter the examinee’s mobile number. The number is optional. Next to the number field, the form shows:
    By entering this number, you confirm the examinee has agreed to receive text messages about this IME appointment (confirmations, reminders and changes). Msg & data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. See our Privacy Policy.
  4. Entering the number is the firm’s confirmation that the examinee agreed. We record that consent was given this way, the wording shown, and when.
  5. If no mobile number is entered, we send no texts. Consent is not a condition of the examination. An examinee who replies STOP gets no further texts.
