What do Approved Medical Specialists do?
An Approved Medical Specialist may examine you to find out:
- your medical condition (including your prognosis, the cause of the condition, and the treatment proposed or provided),
- your fitness for employment,
- the degree of permanent impairment as a result of an injury
- whether any part of the permanent impairment is due to any previous injury or pre-existing condition or abnormality, and the extent of that proportion,
- whether impairment is permanent
- whether the degree of permanent impairment is fully ascertainable.
The AMS may also review your medical records, including X-rays and other test results.
