Understanding the Ama Guides in Workers' Compensation, 2 Volume Set

By Steven Babitsky, James J. Mangraviti Jr., James J. Mangraviti, et al.

Book Overview

There are pages of detail on the distinction between "permanent impairment" and disability, the circumstances under which physicians may express an opinion concerning disability, spine evaluations under the new injury model, and more. You'll also get practical answers to questions such as: "How do the AMA Guides rate degrees of impairment?" and "How do they establish a monetary value for a totally impaired body part?" And that's just the beginning. Plus, the book contains state-by-state case-specific information, checklists and sample proofs.
