Permanent Disability Rating and the AMA Guides, Basic (CA 16A)
This course is designed to cover permanent disability rating of scheduled disabilities occurring after January 1, 2005. Beginning with an overview of the rating process, contents and use of the schedule, the course includes relevant terminology, anatomical terms, and medical descriptions and measurements in conjunction with the mechanics of rating disabilities per the AMA Guides, 5th edition. Emphasis is placed upon the most common injuries and becoming adept in the use of the AMA Guides to correctly categorize and rate Permanent Disability awards. It is advisable that students taking this course have basic rating skills. The course also assumes that California claims adjusters are familiar with the California Labor Code and the California disability rating schedule.
Claims administrators working claims in states other than California will get good value from the course's extensive training in proper reading and use of the AMA Guides and the author's practical advice in dealing with claimants, attorneys and members of the medical community.
