What is the Workers Comp Qualified Medical Examiner QME Process?

[@commentbeast3985]

My QME is set for Jan 10, 2025 and my injury happened Dec 4, 2024 plus I just injured my Achilles October 4th 2024. This is crazy…makes me want to just walk away

[@thugchic420]

What if the adjuster already sent the qme form 105 filled out to request?

[@andrew-qj8ir]

Thanks

[@thugchic420]

Is this with an attorney?

[@frankie4827]

I took my QME back in December 2022... I still haven't got my results. Is that normal?

[@emiliocastaneda906]

Can QME request to do evaluation with the another doctor to do more test can he do that?

[@charvelgaming2975]

How long does it take for the examining doctor to send the report to my Lawyer? Its been 48 days since my QME as of today

[@lawatyourside]

generally 30 days, but sometimes up to 60 days depending on the doctor, the injuries, the workload, and also the number of medical records to be reviewed

Just had my appointment it was like 10 mins long the dr said he was gonna call my attorney to get the medical records is that normal for the visit to be that short

[@LailaMiNaNas]

Any follow up??

[@jt4251]

My attorney said he’s gonna wait for the dr report then go from there. He said it wasn’t normal for him to just see me for 10 minutes and if they need to they get another qme

Is it common to see the same QME 5 Times

[@lawatyourside]

it depends on the injury. If it's a significant injury with lots of treatment, then yes. It could also be the QME is indecisive, but that's more rare
