• A process where expert medical professionals, who have no relationship to your health insurance company or health plan, review specific medical decisions made by the insurance company. California law provides for an Independent Medical Review (IMR) program, which is administered by the CDI or the DMHC depending upon what type of coverage you have (indemnity or HMO).
