Hi,
I have a PQME re-evaluation soon which I believe is for the intention to rate my orthopaedic injuries. I was made MMI last week.

My question is, how different is the PQME process now that I am repped?

One reason I am repped is because when I first went to this PQME, my Claims Adjuster "chose to not participate" and did not send any of my medical records. I provided all the medical records for the PQME. The appt. was very formal, yet I was allowed to talk, ask questions, bring additional records for him to see, etc.

At this point, I am out of the loop. However, I did get copied in on a letter to my C/A from my A/A, ordering him to send all records to the PQME.

I wish I could, but I just don't trust this C/A. Am I allowed to bring medical records, etc., to this re-evaluation, or do I just show up without anything in my hands like going to an AME?

What can I expect from a re-evaluation? Can I point out to the PQME from his first evaluation, that my I/C did not comply with his original orders?

I've tried to get these answers from my A/A, but he is just too busy. Gettig a new A/A is not an option, so I go with the flow.

Thanks in advance!

This re-eval will be handled just like your first exam; there should be no difference now that you're represented.
whatever records or additional information you provide that the carrier doesn't already have should be sent to them.

Well that's the problem. I don't know what they were actually sent because nothing goes by me anymore.

It will work out. I just worry too much.

Thanks 1171!
