"The Colossus seminar was definitely worth every penny. There was so much about how insurance companies value claims that I never considered.

Kudos to James Mathis for this material!"

Revision of the Sixth Edition AMA Guides

In February 2008, the ACA contacted the AMA regarding the inclusion of the statement in the Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Sixth Edition which restricted impairment evaluations done by DCs to the spine.  At that time, the AMA legal counsel responded and indicated that this language would be removed.  AMA also stated that they would:

·          Send a letter to all purchasers of the guide, for whom it has addresses, informing them of the correction.

·          A similar letter will be inserted into all manuals prior to shipment in the future.

·          The AMA will post a notice in the AMAPress Online Catalog as well as on the Guides web page .

·          The correction will be announced in the next issue of the Guides Newsletter scheduled for publication in late March 2008.

·          Future printings of the Sixth Edition of the Guides will include the correction.

·          An errata sheet for the Sixth Edition , which will be issued in late March 2008, will contain the correction with special highlighting to give it greater visibility.

The errata sheet from the AMA is accessible at: http://www.ama-assn.org/ama1/pub/upload/mm/477/guidesclarifications.pdf On page 2 of this document the updated language for page 20 item 6 in the Guides is noted.

If you have any further questions, please just let me know.

Thank you,
