THE QME PROCESS

Dr. Cornejo is a licensed California Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) and specializes in the analysis of complex issues regarding industrial causation of psychiatric injuries. Such issues include but are not limited to: anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder.

All medical-legal reports contain a complete analysis of disability factors including post-SB 899 issues of permanent impairment using the AMA guides, 5th edition and apportionment per the new California Labor Code Sections 4663 and 4664. If indicated, multiple scenarios are offered to analyze differing legal views concerning apportionment. If required, assessment of permanent disability/impairment is also discussed using the old California schedule.
