Accurate – Efficient - Defensible.

ImpairmentCheck® is a patented, web-based platform designed to screen, support, and improve impairment ratings using the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. Whether you're a claims professional, attorney, case manager, or physician, ImpairmentCheck® enhances the quality and defensibility of your impairment assessments.

How ImpairmentCheck® Helps

ImpairmentCheck® functions as an intelligent screening and educational tool—not a rating calculator. It supports best practices in impairment evaluation by helping users:

• Identify whether an impairment rating is within a reasonable range for the diagnosis
• Review graphical and narrative insights tied to the AMA Guides
• Detect misapplication of impairment criteria and flag high-risk cases for expert review

Designed for speed, reliability, and integration, ImpairmentCheck® can be embedded into your workflow for use in triage, reserving, training, and quality control.

Built on Proven Technology

ImpairmentCheck® is powered by patented, web-based algorithms (U.S. Patents 8,185,410; 8,615,411), developed by leading experts in impairment evaluation and occupational medicine.

The system has been used in review of thousands of cases and is updated to reflect best practices in impairment assessment.

Key Features

• ✅ Impairment Rating Screening – Instantly evaluate whether a submitted rating aligns with typical values
• 📊 Visual Graphing Tools – View ratings in context, benchmarked against expected norms
• 🧠 Clinical Guidance – Receive educational content on diagnoses, MMI, and rating challenges
• 📝 Error Detection – Identify red flags and common pitfalls in impairment assessments

How It's Different

Unlike physician-focused impairment software, ImpairmentCheck® does not calculate ratings from scratch. Instead, it offers a decision support layer that:

• Analyzes existing ratings for reasonableness
• Flags potential overrating or underrating
• Provides contextual data and learning tools
• Enables ongoing quality improvement

This is not “just another impairment software.” It’s a critical component in a data-driven, defensible rating process.

Integrate with Confidence

ImpairmentCheck® can be easily integrated into your impairment management protocols:

• For early screening of all ratings
• As a triage tool to determine need for further review
• To project expected impairment for new diagnoses
• As an educational platform for claims and medical staff

Real-World Impact

• 20% error rate in ratings = major opportunity for cost control
• $17,500 average savings per erroneous case corrected
• $3.5 million+ in potential savings for organizations reviewing 1,000 cases

Even a 50% success rate in correction results in millions saved—and better outcomes for claimants.
