A Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) is chosen from a state-certified list of doctors issued by the DWC Medical Unit, with lists generated randomly. An Agreed Medical Evaluator (AME) is used when you have an attorney, and once you see an AME, you cannot see a QME. An AME physician can perform a medical evaluation regardless of the year of injury and may or may not be a QME. Both AMEs and QMEs play a key role in resolving workers’ compensation medical disputes.
