qME
Qualified Medical Evaluation
A qualified medical evaluator (QME) is a licensed physician who performs medical evaluations to resolve disputes in workers’ compensation cases. To serve as a QME, doctors must meet strict educational and licensing standards, pass a certification exam, and engage in ongoing education. If both parties agree on one doctor, they use an agreed medical evaluator (AME) for medical disputes. Whether it’s a QME or AME, these physicians provide essential medical evaluation to determine workers’ compensation benefits and settle disagreements.
