We provide insights and proven strategies to drive accurate impairment ratings, including a unique suite of practice, effective solutions:

	ImpairmentAssessment™ - Impairment Resources reviews the applicable medical records including imaging study reports such as MRI’s and X-rays, electrodiagnostic study reports, consultation reports, operative reports, and physical therapy notes and estimates the permanent impairment rating in those cases that do not yet have a calculated impairment rating. The assessment of the estimated impairment is explained in a written report.
	ImpairmentScreen™ - Impairment Resources reviews the physician’s impairment rating report to determine the probable correct impairment rating for each ratable diagnosis using the applicable edition of the AMA Guides. Impairment Resources reviews the impairment values for each ratable diagnosis and provides a brief written report outlining the conclusions as to the accuracy of the original impairment rating assigned by the physician. When there is a significant variance between the original rating and the Impairment Resources’ rating, Impairment Resources will contact the adjuster and recommend an ImpairmentExpert™.
	ImpairmentExpert™ - Impairment Resources reviews a physician’s impairment rating report to determine the probable correct impairment rating for each ratable diagnosis using the applicable edition of the AMA Guides and assesses all critical issues. The ImpairmentExpert™ includes multiple levels of review by highly skilled professionals. Impairment Resources analyzes the physician’s rating, and other pertinent medical records including imaging study reports such as MRI’s and X-rays, electrodiagnostic study reports, consultation reports, operative reports, and final physical therapy notes and provides a detailed narrative report.
	ImpairmentLetter™ - Impairment Resources writes a letter to assist the adjuster with obtaining the appropriate impairment rating from the physician. There are two types of Impairment Letters: Letter of Guidance (pre rating) and Letter of Clarification (post rating). The letter is sent directly to the adjuster. The letter may provide discussion points regarding the diagnosis or apportionment as it relates to the calculation of the impairment outlined in the Guides. The adjuster may incorporate the Impairment Resources’ analysis into the letter they are sending to the physician. If the ImpairmentLetter™ is authored by a Physician Reviewer, it is recommended that the Impairment Resources’ letter is sent by the adjuster directly to the physician or is included with the medical records sent to the physician. It is suggested that all letters are sent per jurisdictional requirements and in most cases it will need to be copied to the claimant or opposing counsel.
	Consultation, Deposition, and Expert Witness Testimony Services - Impairment Resources will consult with you to discuss trial strategies. These services include assistance with cross-examination questions for physician depositions and expert witnesses for trial.

These best practice resources provide a very strong value proposition and create a great opportunity for having accurate, unbiased ratings.
