E-Eval Provider Network

A Verified Network of
Certified Impairment Rating Specialists.

When an impairment rating evaluation matters, when it has to hold up in deposition, settlement negotiation, or court, the qualifications of the evaluator are the first thing that gets challenged. The E-Eval Provider Network is a directory of providers whose impairment rating credentials have been formally verified through AAEME certification.

Searchable Directory

The E-Eval searchable directory connects attorneys, insurers, employers, and claims administrators with Certified Impairment Rating Specialists qualified to perform AMA Guides impairment rating evaluations, and AAEME providers who use WholePerson® software. Listings are filterable by jurisdiction, specialty, AMA Guides edition, credential, and software.

Built for Two Audiences

The E-Eval Provider Network exists to solve a specific problem on both sides of an impairment rating evaluation: referring parties need to find qualified evaluators, and certified providers need to be findable by the parties who need them. The directory closes that loop.

For Referring Parties
Attorneys, insurers, employers, and claims administrators
An impairment rating from an unverified provider is a depositional liability. The E-Eval directory allows referring parties to identify providers whose qualifications have been formally certified, before a referral is made.
  • Verified CIRS certification on every listing
  • Filterable by jurisdiction, AMA Guides edition, certification, and software
  • Specialty and credential information at a glance
  • Direct contact with the evaluating provider
For Certified Providers
MDs, DOs, and DCs holding active CIRS, NIRSAT, or TIRSAT certification
Certified providers who have invested in the credential should be findable by the referring parties looking for credentialed evaluators. Network membership puts a provider's verified credentials in front of attorneys, insurers, and employers actively seeking expert evaluators.
  • Automatic eligibility upon AAEME certification (you must opt-in)
  • No application or membership fee at this time
  • Listed by jurisdiction, credential held, software, and other factors
  • Contact preferences set by the provider

Who Qualifies for Membership

Network eligibility is automatic for any MD, DO, or DC holding a current AAEME CIRS certification, including the NIRSAT credential, which satisfies the CIRS 5th Edition requirement, and the TIRSAT credential, which satisfies the CIRS 4th Edition requirement. There is no separate application process. Eligibility tracks certification status and software use: when a provider earns a qualifying credential or purchases a WPIRS software system, network eligibility is active. Listing in the directory is opt-in. If a provider's certification lapses or they discontinue use of WPIRS software, their listing is suspended until certification is renewed or software use resumes.

CIRS 4th Edition
Eligible for network membership
MDs, DOs, DCs, and other medical providers holding the AMA Guides 4th Edition CIRS certification qualify for network listing for jurisdictions that use the 4th Edition standard for impairment rating.
CIRS 5th Edition
Eligible for network membership
MDs, DOs, DCs, and other medical providers holding the AMA Guides CIRS 5th Edition certification qualify for network listing for jurisdictions that use the 5th Edition standard for impairment rating, including California and others.
CIRS 6th Edition
Eligible for network membership
MDs, DOs, DCs, and other medical providers holding the AMA Guides CIRS 6th Edition certification qualify for network listing for jurisdictions that have adopted the 6th Edition for workers' compensation and impairment rating.
NIRSAT
Eligible for network membership
NIRSAT certification incorporates the CIRS 5th Edition requirements. Nevada-licensed providers holding active NIRSAT certification qualify for network listing in Nevada and in any 5th Edition jurisdiction.
TIRSAT
Eligible for network membership
TIRSAT certification incorporates the 4th Edition CIRS requirements. Texas-licensed providers holding active TIRSAT certification qualify for network listing in Texas and in any 4th Edition jurisdiction.
WPIRS WholePerson® Software
Eligible for network membership
Medical providers using a current WPIRS WholePerson software system qualify for network listing. Eligibility begins at purchase and remains active as long as software use continues.
Other
Not currently eligible
Medical providers who have completed AAEME coursework but do not hold an active CIRS, NIRSAT, or TIRSAT certification, and providers whose certifications have lapsed or who have discontinued use of WPIRS software, are not currently eligible for network listing. Eligibility is reinstated upon current certification or resumed software use.

From Certification to Listing

The membership process is designed to require nothing extra of certified providers. Eligibility, listing, and ongoing membership are all tied to certification status. The provider's only obligation is maintaining their AAEME credential.

01
Earn an AAEME certification
Complete the qualifying coursework and pass the certification examination for CIRS 5th Edition, CIRS 6th Edition, NIRSAT, or TIRSAT. Membership eligibility is established at the moment of certification or when you've purchased one of the WPIRS software systems.
02
Opt-in to join the network
If you haven't already, you will be requested to fill in the AAEME registry and opt-in to join the public-facing network.
03
Listing goes live
After your listing is verified, it appears in the searchable directory, filterable by referring parties searching for certified evaluators or users of WPIRS software.
04
Maintain certification to maintain listing
Network listings remain active as long as the underlying AAEME certification is current. Lapsed certifications result in suspended listings until certification is renewed; reinstated certifications restore the listing automatically.

What information will be shown publicly on a provider's listing?

Listings show the provider's name, specialty, location, the AAEME credentials they hold, and any AAEME-recognized software they use. Providers control whether they are listed and what information appears publicly.

What happens if my certification lapses?

Network listings are tied to active certification status. If an AAEME certification lapses, the corresponding network listing is suspended until the certification is renewed. Once renewed, the listing is reinstated automatically.
