What Provider Should I Choose for My QME?
You probably already know that Healthpointe is a total-care group of advanced sports medicine, occupational, and industrial medical clinics – but did you know that we can help you complete your qualified medical examination as well?
What are QMEs?
Qualified medical examinations, or QMEs, are medical-legal evaluations performed by a non-biased expert doctor in connection with workers’ compensation cases. If there is a dispute between the patient and employer regarding treatment, a QME may be performed to help a case move forward toward a resolution.
Healthpointe is the finest choice when it comes to selecting your QME specialty and location, as we have vast resources and the highest quality medical examiners at our fingertips. Our physicians and staff have a great depth of understanding of workers’ compensation laws and guidelines, and have decades of experience in performing qualified medical examinations and in writing comprehensive medical-legal reports that are AMA compliant.
According to California Medical Evaluators, QME certification tests are very difficult to pass, with half of physicians failing on their first attempt. All of our QME providers meet all “educational and licensing requirements to qualify as a QME; [and have all passed tests and participated in] in ongoing education on the workers’ compensation evaluation process,” as required and noted by the State of California’s Department of Industrial Relations.
