Impairment Ratings
Our certified providers deliver detailed impairment evaluations using the appropriate edition of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. These assessments quantify the degree of permanent physical or mental loss and are essential for:
- Workers’ compensation settlements
- Long-term disability determinations
- Defense Base Act claims
- MMI (Maximum Medical Improvement) confirmation
- Third-party litigation support
Each report includes a detailed breakdown of methodology, test results, and rationale—ensuring transparency and defensibility.
