What We Do

At North American Medical Authority, we provide a comprehensive range of medical-legal services designed to support attorneys, public agencies, and physicians in making informed decisions regarding disability claims, workers' compensation cases, and retirement evaluations. Our focus is on delivering expert, unbiased evaluations based on substantial medical evidence. Our team of highly trained physicians specializes in evaluating complex medical conditions and providing detailed, reliable reports that are trusted by attorneys, claims adjusters, and administrative judges alike.

Medical-Legal Evaluationse

We excel in performing Qualified Medical Evaluations (QME), Agreed Medical Evaluations (AME), Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), and Subsequent Injury Benefits Trust Fund (SIBTF/SIF) evaluations. Our physicians have extensive training beyond certification, allowing them to provide comprehensive assessments on whether injuries are industrial or non-industrial in nature. With deep expertise in AMA Guides and apportionment, we ensure that our evaluations stand up to the highest standards of scrutiny.

Disability Retirement Evaluations

We offer expert evaluations for employees applying for disability retirement through public agencies such as CALPERS and CALSTRS. Our physicians assess incapacitation, service-connected disability, and ability to work under accommodations or treatment. By thoroughly reviewing job duties, medical histories, and legal evaluations, we provide clear, reliable determinations for both temporary and permanent disability.

Medical Practice Management

Our services extend to helping physicians build and manage successful medical-legal practices. From patient scheduling, billing, and collections, to continuous marketing, we provide a complete management solution. We help physicians focus on patient care and evaluations, while we handle the administrative complexities of running a medical practice. We also provide comprehensive training for physicians interested in becoming certified in QME, AME, or IME evaluations, ensuring they succeed in this field.

Pre-Deposition and Court Preparation

We assist attorneys in preparing for depositions and court cases by thoroughly reviewing all medical records, diagnostic studies, and previous evaluations. Our physicians help identify overlooked issues, verify factors of disability, and provide expert opinions that strengthen cases during litigation or settlement. This ensures attorneys are fully prepared and confident when facing opposing counsel.

Tailored Solutions

We understand that each case is unique, which is why we offer customized solutions for attorneys, physicians, and public agencies. Whether you need a comprehensive medical evaluation, expert testimony, or complete practice management, our team is here to support you. We work closely with our clients to provide tailored strategies and reports that meet the needs of even the most complex cases.
