Welcome to AAEME

The American Academy of Expert Medical Evaluators helps doctors specialize in providing expert medical evaluations for Impairment Ratings. Over 41 states require that the AMA Guides be used in the final report for workers compensation. The Federal Government requires the use of the 5th as well as Longshoreman Act and many countries across the globe such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy and more. With the advent of global industry, the AMA Guides has become the standard by which most insurance companies and countries use in the final outcome of cases.

Education is only one avenue to help the doctors attain expertise in this area. The second and more conclusive process is through IR testing and certification to substantiate the doctors understanding and competence in the use of the AMA Guides. AAEME is an educator of both the 4th edition and the 5th edition of the AMA Guides with an outstanding faculty.

Provider of TIRSAT for Texas

The Texas legislature enacted a law that required the doctors to be tested for their proficiency in performing accurate Impairment Rating based on the 4th edition of the AMA Guides. One test, the TIRSAT, the Texas Impairment Rating Skills Assessment test is approved by the TDI (Texas Department of Insurance) for this purpose. AAEME offers the TIRSAT online so it can be taken anytime and anywhere. The passing grade for the TIRSAT is 70% and with a failure rate of 20%.
