using the state system for getting a QME. The doctor they agree on is called an AME.\u00a0 If they cannot agree, they must ask for a QME panel list. A\u00a0\u201cRequest for Qualified Medical Evaluator\u201d form must be submitted to the DWC Medical Unit either by the employee or employer.\u00a0Whoever submits the request form picks the specialty of the doctor for the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you agree with the treatment requested by your doctor and the treatment is denied under utilization review, the dispute will be resolved by a QME. If you disagree with your MPN doctor about your diagnosis or treatment, you do not go to a QME \u2013 you have other options. If you disagree with your MPN doctor on any other issue, you will go to a QME. If the employee agrees with the treatment requested by MPN doctor and the treatment is denied under utilization review, the dispute will be resolved by a QME. If there is disagreement with the MPN doctor on any other issue, the dispute between employee and employer should be taken to a QME.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The QME is a physician who meets additional educational and licensing requirements, and is able to evaluate the recommended treatment and adjudicate the compensation issues. If the claimant\u2019s attorney and the employer\u2019s claims administrator agree on a qualified doctor to resolve medical disputes, this doctor is called an Agreed Medical evaluator (AME).
