In this Session, respected Defesne Attorney Saul Allweiss shares his "Defense Attorney's Wish List" of elements that go into a "high quality" Report that can be used to quickly resolve disputed issues and move cases forward in the Workers Compensation system.
Adding the "how" and "why" reasoning to your opinions and conclusions is the winning formula for the Defense Attorney!
DWC Staff Attorney Nicole Richardson joins us to define and describe the Labor Codes and Codes of Regulation (CCRs) that are essential to producing a "high quality" QME Report and, then, we show you EXACTLY how to transfer those in to the body of your QME Report. These 10 suggestions will immediately improve the usability of your Report by the parties.

Descriptions of findings on neurologic examination testing, and the Impairments related to loss of function of parts of the nervous system are throughout the AMA Guides. Thus, the neurologic examination is central to the overall Physical Examination of each and every examinee.
A complete Impairment evaluation for neuromusculoskeletal injury requires a thorough understanding of neuroanatomy and the examination procedures of the neural structures. Here we review the important structures, and their physical examination, described in Chapters 13, 15, 16, and 17 of the AMA Guides.
There are some Permanent Impairments that can only be discovered and provided for on the basis of imaging findings. We find these Impairments hidden in Chapters 15, 16, and 17. Chiropractic Radiologist Cliff Tao DC DACBR shows you the simple and quick methods to determine these generous Impairments.
Some Permanent Impairments can only be uncovered, discovered, and described through findings on Imaging Studies and particularly, on plain film x-rays. Important Impairments that are often overlooked include 1) loss of motion segment integrity, 2) carpal instability, and 3) post traumatic arthritis of the lower extremities. In this Live Video, Chiropractic Radiologist Cliff Tao DC DACBR simplifies the determination of these Impairments through careful measurements on x-ray images.
Be an Apportionment Super Hero! Until now, there has never been an exact, step-by-step formula for writing the Apportionment section of the QME Report. For that reason, doctors struggle to provide accurate Apportionment "approximate percentages" that can be used to resolve the case.
This has never been done before! You will not find this anywhere! Two hours of thick and deep philosophy from retired Work Comp Judge and Apportionment Scholar Ray Correio sets the stage for your "A-Ha' moment when the Big Idea of apportionment lands on fertile soil, and takes root. Then, you get one full hour of concentrated instruction from Perry J. Carpenter DC QME - author of "The Apportionment Black Belt", "Apportionment Simplified", and "The Apportionment Avatar Checksheet." You will learn exactly - step-by-step - how to write the Apportionment section of your Report, AND, how to qualify your apportionment "approximate percentages" as substantial medical evidence. This is nuts and bolts training that you CANNOT afford to miss!
You can go to weekend seminar where speakers will tell you what you should do, what you need to do, what you need to say. And you are left nodding your head but still wondering, "But HOW do I do it? HOW do I write that up in the body of my Report? How do I know what percentages are correct? How do I now if my opinion is going to be substantial medical evidence? What if I get deposed on my Apportionment numbers? Please please tell me HOW to do it!"
In this Live Training Session, we have actual examples of actual cases that had actual Permanent Impairment ratings. We show you EXACTLY how the QME arrived at the perfectly natural, perfectly correct, and perfectly "SUBSTANTIAL" approximate percentages, upon which the case can settle.
You simply CANNOT find this anywhere else!
