Worker's Compensation

A medical report will be considered to be a "final report" when:

• the doctor has stated whether or not any permanent disability has resulted from the injury
  
  
• the last examination established an end of healing and the employee has been released from treatment, or is treating strictly to prevent further deterioration in the condition of the employee or to maintain the existing status of such condition
  
  
• the report was completed by the treating  physician, podiatrist, surgeon, psychologist or chiropractor.  (Doctors of dentistry, physician assistants and advanced practice nurse prescribers may not complete a final report addressing the extent of disability)
  
  
• the rating given is based on the Wisconsin Administrative Code Section DWD 80.32, rather than AMA or other guidelines
