Probably varies by area, but there are companies that will contract providers to perform IMEs, review records, etc., in a variety of contexts; that's how most folks I know got into it initially. Maybe ask around on state and other professional listservs and/or with local colleagues to see if anyone does the type of assessments you'd be interested in and ask if they have any recommendations for contacts you could reach out to? In neuro, once you're boarded, you'll start getting random emails as well.How does one get into that area, though? Cold contacting health insurance companies? Are there websites, tutorials? Over the holidays I tried to do some online searches and came up empty.
I'm sure other folks have some better suggestions that me as well.
This would be more for civil-type work, btw. For criminal work, your best bet may be going through the court system's websites to see what types of credentialing/registration they require and how you can go about getting certified with them, etc. Typically, in my experience, the court has a list of providers they'll use for things like mandated evaluations, but again, I suspect that can vary by area.
