About Pain Medicine QME Evaluations
Pain Medicine QME evaluations focus on chronic pain conditions resulting from workplace injuries, including complex regional pain syndrome, failed back surgery syndrome, and neuropathic pain. The evaluating pain specialist determines whether ongoing pain is causally related to the industrial injury and assesses functional limitations.
Under California workers' compensation law ( LC §139.2), QME physicians must meet qualification standards set by the Division of Workers' Compensation and must follow the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 5th Edition (2001), for impairment ratings.
