What Is An AME?
Agreed Medical Examination (AME) for Benefits
When you are injured on the job, there is a process which you must go through to file for benefits. One step of the process for a workers' compensation claim is to be examined by an approved physician. During this examination, the physician will make notes of both your injuries and state of disability, if there is one. This information goes into your medical record and is an essential part of securing benefits or a disability rating. At Alvandi Law Group, our Orange County workers' compensation attorneys can help you navigate the process and prepare for the AME.

WHAT DOES AN AME ENTAIL?
There is a special process involved in choosing the medical evaluator so that there is no bias. You will need to agree with the insurance claim administrator on a doctor, which a skilled attorney can help with. Otherwise, the Division of Workers' Compensation Medical Unit may be involved in this selection. The outcome of the AME (agreed medical examination) and your physician's notes will have a significant impact on your case.
The purpose of an AME includes the following:
- Establishing a medical opinion on any existing treatment needed
- Determining whether future medical treatment will be needed.
- Providing a professional medical opinion on any relevant issues
- Establishing whether there is a permanent impairment or disability
We'll make sure your claim is filed quickly and accurately.

I recommend Alvandi Law Group. They have good attorneys and great customer service. I remember when I first called for a consult and spoke to Kayla, I truly was not ready to sign. I just had questions and was scared to get fired., but she explained the process to me and was always there to answer my questions. I've met Gil, as well, and he is a kind man. Stay kind and humble.- Andrew

The Alvandi Law Group has been great so far. They have been very patient and informative with all of my questions and concerns. This is the first time that I have been injured at work so this whole process is very new to me. They got me out to a doctor quickly and the staff seems very friendly. The office itself is very nice and there is a large fish tank in the waiting area.
