(The objective evidence does not support his numerous subjective complaints.) I bought it because it was referenced in my denial of benefits documentation. The statement in parentheses came from my letter of denial of benefits. No, I don’t agree with the methodology of this book, but I was very glad to understand where the denial of benefits was coming from. It currently makes a great doorstop for my bedroom door. Review: Great Resource.... - Really a good tool for RTW and Treatment Guides in addition to being a great help in addressing both of these issues with an MD provider in the Work Comp field. Very glad to have it. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #992,639 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #260 in Medical Coding & Billing (Books) #13,804 in Medicine & Health Sciences | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 60 Reviews | ## Images ![AMA Guide to the Evaluation of Work Ability and Return to Work - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fMgRi+UCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very telling of the disability review process *by C***R on January 11, 2024* This is a very old method of determining disability that focuses exclusively on biomedical evidence.
