Per the DWC, the term "physician" includes what types of

can these practitioners advertise, represent, or hold themselves
out as physicians? - Answer>> No

Per the Labor Code, is a QME allowed to advertise that they are a
QME in a legal journal? - Answer>> Yes. There are restrictions
regarding the contents but simply saying that "Dr. XYZ is
available to perform QME evaluations," is legal.

Who can become a QME? - Answer>> Only physicians as
defined by the Labor Code can be a QME (M.D., D.O.,

services for use in the California Worker's Compensation system.
- Answer>> True

What are two alternative requirements to become a QME if a
physician does not have a sufficient amount of direct medical
treatment time/clinic? - Answer>> - The physician must have
served as an AME (Agreed Medical Evaluator) on eight or more
occasions in the 12 months prior to the end of their 2-year term.
- The physician must demonstrate that they are disabled, retired,
or teaching.

A minimum of ⅓ of a QME's time must involve direct medical
treatment; what are two exceptions? - Answer>> - The QME
served as an AME 8 or more times in the past year.
- The QME is disabled, retired, or is a teaching physician.

Name the 3 distinct ways a physician can list a specialty. -
Answer>> - Board certification in that specialty.
- Completed postgraduate specialty training (certificate of

to an injured worker? - Answer>> - The injured worker requests
it. (For instance, a QME sees an injured worker. The injured
worker then freely chooses the QME as their primary treating
provider (PTP). The QME must then excuse themself from future
QME evaluations with that injured worker).
