AMA Analysis & Rating

• Rating Only – One Rating String; up to 20 pages = $95 (flat rate)
• All other ratings services = $250 per hour

We rate the doctor’s report based on the WPI opinion provided by the doctor. We make corrections to any errors in the report regarding reading values from the Figures and Tables in the Guides; correct math and combining errors. We apply apportionment.

• One Rating String; up to 20 pages = $95 (flat rate)
• More than one Rating String and/or more than 20 pages = $250 per hour

We rate the doctor’s report based on the WPI opinion provided by the doctor. We correct any errors in the report regarding reading values from the Figures and Tables in the Guides; we correct math and combining errors. We apply apportionment.

With this intermediate/annotation service, we also provide a brief notation regarding the doctor’s WPI opinions, without complex detail or review. For example, we would rate a doctor’s assessment for right wrist motion impairment, and right grip loss, but include a notation that the instructions on page 508 of the Guides indicate that the use of grip strength with motion loss is likely improper.

• All Rating With Annotation requests = $250 per hour

This includes a detailed review and discussion of each impairment assessment offered by the doctor(s). Clinical findings documented in the medical report are correlated with instructions, Figures, and Tables in the Guides; applicable instructions from the Guides are referenced.

TWO Sets of Ratings are provided: 1) based on the doctor’s recommendations; 2) a second rating based on our critical review is provided for comparison.
