Sacramento QME: Internal Medicine
Internal medicine is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of specialized care. When a worker is injured on the job, they often choose Qualified Medical Evaluators (QME) for Internal Medicine in their Sacramento workers’ compensation cases. If you’ve been injured, you’ve probably received a panel list of qualified QMEs. It’s up to you to choose one to evaluate you. When selecting a Sacramento doctor or physician to perform an Internal Medicine evaluation for you, you must choose the QME carefully.
Internal Medicine Qualified Medical Evaluators specialize in a variety of areas, including:
- Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease
- Endocrinology (Hormones)
- Gastroenterology (Digestion/Liver)
- Hematology (Blood)
- Infections Disease
- Medical Oncology (Cancer)
- Nephrology (Kidneys)
- Pulmonary (Lungs) Disease
- Rheumatology (Arthritis)
These doctors are typically the preferred evaluators for physical or cognitive disability or impairment. They have a broad range of medical knowledge yet specialize in specific areas.
Choosing a qualified QME is one of the most critical steps to ensuring proper treatment for your injuries. Injured workers often choose a medical evaluator in haste because they want to move on quickly. Sometimes they base their decision solely on the office’s location or the doctor’s name. A hurried decision can lead to poor service and less-than-ideal circumstances. When you choose a QME for Internal Medicine, you should focus on finding one based on whether they are likely to write a fair and unbiased report about your injuries.
While Yelp and Google can be informative and good places to start, be careful about deciding solely on these reviews. Unfortunately, they mainly focus on how the doctor treats the client or the office’s customer service. While we all love excellent customer service, receiving a fair and unbiased report is more important. This will help you get the most from your workers’ compensation case.
At Eason & Tambornini, ALC, we understand this decision is essential and want to make the process as simple and easy as possible. We have created the following list to help you decide on a qualified QME. We hope that this list is an excellent point of reference for you. But it’s important to understand that your results may differ from what’s reflected here. Opinions or votes should never be taken as the absolute truth as they are vulnerable to subjective feelings, potential manipulation, and false voting. The American College of Physicians website is another excellent place to learn more about these physicians. If you have questions about your workers’ compensation case, please get in touch with one of the workers’ compensation attorneys at Eason & Tambornini, ALC.
