When the parties in a workers' compensation claim disagree about a diagnosis, the level of impairment, or whether an injured worker can return to the job, the dispute is resolved by an independent medical evaluation. Our physicians perform both kinds.
QME, Qualified Medical Evaluator. A physician appointed from a panel issued by the Division of Workers' Compensation. Either party can request the panel, and the evaluator examines the worker, reviews the record, and issues a report the claims administrator and the judge rely on.
AME, Agreed Medical Evaluator. A physician both sides agree to use instead of drawing a panel. Because the choice is mutual, AME reports usually move a claim faster and are less likely to be challenged.
Either way, what matters is the report: complete history, objective findings, impairment rated under the AMA Guides, and clear answers to the questions actually in dispute. We schedule these evaluations at all seven clinics and return reports within the statutory deadlines.
