QME
Acronym for 'Qualified Medical Examination'. Depending on whether an injured worker is represented by an attorney or not, this may be either an impartial medical examination by a doctor selected by the injured worker from a State provided panel, or an examination set up by an attorney specifically for the purpose of proving a contested medical issue. See also AME.
