What is the term of appointment for a QME evaluator?

The term of appointment for a Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) is indeed two years. This duration is established to ensure that the evaluators maintain current knowledge and skills in their respective fields, which is crucial for providing accurate and reliable medical evaluations within the workers’ compensation system. After this two-year period, a QME must apply for reappointment to continue serving in this capacity. This reappointment process helps to uphold the standards and integrity of the evaluation process, as it allows for periodic assessment of the evaluator's qualifications and performance.
