We're bringing back a highly requested topic in Episode #126 of Work Comp Talk: Agreed Medical Evaluators (AMEs) and Qualified Medical Evaluators (QMEs). 

This special edition takes a fresh look at why AMEs and QMEs are so important in the workers' comp process and why our audience continues to ask about them, because understanding when to use each is crucial, as their evaluations can determine the benefits, treatments, and even the outcome of a case.

The key differences between them 
Why they're essential in workers' comp cases 
How their evaluations impact both injured workers and employers
