CMLS has been involved in the development and management of Orthopedic QME’S for over 28 years. More Orthopedists have chosen to work with them than any other management company in California- that says something. The front office support and management services are extremely well handled. I can only commend them for the services and support they have established for me. It has given me the ability to easily work at a higher level with a company that values serving the physician. It is all there for you as well.

  • ABOUT CMLS

    CMLS was founded in 1995 to serve and provide the highest quality management services to physicians specializing in forensic disability evaluations throughout the state of California. The evaluations include Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), Agreed Medical Evaluations (AME) and Qualified Medical Evaluations (QME) provided in over 300 clinics in California.

    CMLS has been instrumental in building hundreds of successful IME/QME physician practices over the last 28 years. As a result this has led to the support and processing of hundreds of thousands of evaluations during that time.

    The physicians that work with CMLS are of the highest caliber within their peer groups. Most are board certified with extensive clinical backgrounds in direct treatment in their specialty.

    These highly respected physicians have extensive knowledge and experience in forensic disability evaluations. Due to this level of time commitment many are in the top 5% of producing physicians within the industry.

    CMLS believes that integrity and the commitment to high levels of service and results for their physicians make them the best choice for doctors eager to find lasting success.

    How Does QME Fit in With California Medical Evaluators?

    QME stands for qualified medical examinations. And to perform qualified medical examinations in the legal and insurance industries, you need the right team to back you up.  A successful med legal practice will need comprehensive services for independent medical examinations and other medical legal work. To say quality is crucial in the medical field is an understatement. Quality medical service helps maintain customer satisfaction and loyalty and most importantly, reduces the risk of costing lives.

    Medical practitioners can build a reputation for quality by gaining accreditation with a recognized standard, such as being a Qualified Medical Evaluator.

    The California Department of Industrial Relations defines QMEs as qualified physicians who are certified by the Division of Workers' Compensation - Medical Unit to examine injured workers to evaluate disability and write medical-legal reports. The reports are used to determine an injured worker's eligibility for workers' compensation benefits. QMEs can include medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, doctors of chiropractic, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, psychologists, and acupuncturists.
