Good luck on your phone interview! Two thoughts: tape the conversation (I'm sure your insurance company will be taping it as well) and be sure to get the name and credentials of the person on the other end. Is this really suppposed to be an "independent medical review?"--IME's are a farce anyway but medical exam by telephone?! As a provider, it is usually not a good sign when an insurance company asks me to do a phone review--they're usually going through the motions before they deny benefits. I hope this is different for you.
