About
AMEQME Medical group:
AME
Medical Group is structured to provide facilities,
management and support services to community based
independent contractor physicians who wish to devote
a portion of their time to evaluate workers compensation
cases. AME's management and office staff allows physicians
to focus exclusively on performing evaluations, articulating
their opinions and eliminates the burden of administrative
responsibilities.
Our
goal is to get credible reports out in a timely manner
based on thorough physical examinations, pre-authorized
diagnostic testing, and the history and review of the
patient's medical records. We have provided quality
reports for over 300 workers compensation insurance
carriers including self-insurance administrators and
third party administrators. Appointments are available
with board-certified physicians from Monday through
Friday and rush appointments are welcome.
