Evaluations by an AGREED MEDICAL EVALUATOR (AME) or a PANEL QUALIFIED MEDICAL EVALUATOR (PQME)  have become more complex than ever. It is very important the initial questionnaire is completed accurately. If you are unable to complete the answers to the questions and need assistance, it is really important to write on the questionnaire itself if you had help. For example,  you could note by your signature line “also completed by _____” and have whoever helped you sign next to your name. The doctors make assumptions about you and your case based upon your answers. If you tell an AME or a PQME that you love your job when he/she asks if your job is stressful, then they will assume you are not under any stress at work. If the physician  makes the wrong assumption, you will get less settlement or even worse, your case could be wiped out completely. So, if you need help with the questionnaire or are unsure if it has been completed accurately, please call our office. The legal assistant assigned to your case would be more than happy to help you.
