Schedule AppointmentUnderstanding Permanency Evaluations
A permanency evaluation is a medical exam performed once healing from a work injury has reached a plateau. The goal of permanency evaluations is to assess any long-term physical limitations and assign a disability rating reflecting permanent loss of function. Permanency evaluations help define what a worker can and cannot safely do moving forward.
Permanent Impairment Ratings Support:
- Disability benefit calculations
- Workers’ compensation settlements
- Legal documentation in court
- Claims filed by attorneys or insurers
The Importance of Choosing an Experienced Provider
Permanency evaluations can directly affect workers’ compensation benefits, future employment options and long-term financial security. Choosing an experienced medical provider helps the impairment rating reflect your condition accurately and fairly. Wisconsin Medical Group physicians understand the technical and legal importance of disability ratings and focus on producing clear, medically supported evaluations. We provide reliable information to help resolve claims efficiently while protecting patient interests.
What to Expect During Your Exam
Permanency exams follow a structured medical process and meet accepted guidelines for disability evaluation. During the exam, your Wisconsin Medical Group physician will:
- Review your medical records and treatment history
- Examine the injured area to measure movement and strength
- Ask questions about ongoing pain, discomfort and daily limitations
- Use the American Medical Association (AMA) Guides to assign a disability rating
After the evaluation, we prepare a comprehensive Permanency Report with your results. The report is submitted directly to your attorney, insurer or case manager.
What is a Disability Rating?
A disability rating is a medical determination expressed as a percentage reflecting the permanent loss of function caused by a work injury. Physicians calculate disability ratings using standardized criteria from the American Medical Association (AMA) Guides, which help create consistency across different cases. Higher percentages indicate more severe impairments and often correlate with greater workers’ compensation benefits or long-term work restrictions. Disability ratings impact settlements, ongoing benefits and legal proceedings related to your injury.
