Frequently Asked Questions

Does SB 899 change the medical evaluation process for employees represented by an attorney?

Yes. However, the QME panel process for represented injured workers applies to injuries occurring on or after Jan. 1, 2005. If the City is disputing the injury, the City and the attorney must try to select an agreed medical examiner (AME). If no agreement is reached within ten days, either party may file a “Request for QME” form with the DWC Medical Unit. The DWC Medical Unit then issues a panel of three QMEs, the parties can agree upon a QME selected from the panel to serve as an agreed medical evaluator (AME) or strike one name from the panel of QMEs. The remaining QME shall serve as the medical evaluator.
