I am sending a “Request for Qualified Medical Evaluator” form to the Medical Unit at the Oakland address. Do I need to include a document cover sheet and separator sheet as well?

No. Requests for panel QME’s are processed in the same way they were prior to EAMS. No cover sheet or separator sheet is needed. Q: I am sending in a Request for Rating to the DEU for an old schedule rating. I have heard that reports automatically get rated on the new schedule unless otherwise specified on the request. Where do I indicate on the OCR form that I need an old schedule rating? A: Requests for Rating are screened by the DEU raters, who determine if an old schedule rating is needed based on the medical record. It will expedite the process if you add an addendum by placing an additional sheet of paper behind the rating request with your processing comments. No separator sheet is needed as the addendum is considered part of the Request for Rating.  more
