Serving California
As part of our commitment to physician equity, our QME management company is transparent about our compensation structure. We pay physicians a published 70% distribution on every case. For example, $1,410.50 on a $2,015 comprehensive QME and $2,821 on a $4,030 psych comprehensive. We believe that providing fair compensation is the foundation for a long and successful partnership.
Many arrangements pay physicians a lower share.
The Real Impact of 70% vs. 60% Distribution
We provide an array of services that include marketing and location selection to maximize our physicians’ QME opportunities.

The appointment scheduling process is straightforward and efficient. Initially, a scheduler contacts us via phone or email to request an appointment. We then provide the earliest available date and time based on our current schedule. The scheduler may either confirm the proposed date or request an alternative. Once the date and time are confirmed, we proceed with preparing the necessary notification forms to finalize the appointment. This process ensures timely and accurate scheduling to meet the needs of all parties involved.
