Illinois and the AMA Guides
The Illinois Workers’
Compensation Act has adopted several changes
including how permanent partial disability
(PPD) awards are determined.
The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of
Permanent Impairment, Sixth Edition is to
be used per Sec. 8.1b.
House Bill 1698 Section 8.1b applies
to injuries that occur on or after September
1, 2011.
The impact of the adoption of impairment
guidelines was examined in Joe Paduda's
webblog on Managed Care Matters.
