AI tools for QMEs: a dated directory
Short version: 30 products in 2 tables, all read on 2026-11-12. Of the 14 general assistant plans, 8 publish a BAA route, and ChatGPT for Clinicians is the simplest for a solo physician: free, with an individual BAA. Of the 16 QME and med-legal tools, 12 state page-linked output, 5 state they sign a BAA, and 2 publish California QME templates or California forms.
Limits: We read each product's own pages and the DWC sources on 2026-11-12 and did not upload records to any product. Prices, plans and rules change, and nothing here is legal advice; ask your own counsel about Labor Code 4628.
How to read the QME tool directory
Every fact comes from the maker's own site, read on the date in the last column. "Not stated" means the pages we read do not say, not that the product lacks the feature. "Says HIPAA compliant" is not the same as "signs a BAA"; ask for the BAA in writing. We uploaded no records to any product. Medrecords AI is ours, gets the same columns, and is marked "(ours)". The methodology page lists the tests.

Picks by QME situation
- Solo QME, 2 to 4 files a month: InjuryMgmt's $99 for 1,500 pages, or OctopusLM's 1,000 free pages then $0.10. Medrecords AI is not the cheapest at that volume.
- You want the draft in your own layout: IME Coach, which learns from 2 or 3 of your served reports, or Docura's QME and AME templates.
- Disclosure wording handed to you: MediScan publishes sample AI disclosure text for QME reports. Read the DWC checklist's version too, which also asks you to certify verification.
- Psych QMEs with long narrative files: a tool that cites every line, such as OctopusLM, ChartInsight or Medrecords AI, since psych opinions turn on wording you will quote.
- Practice run by a management company: Simplexam runs scheduling, service and billing with AI admin help. That is practice software, not a record review pick.
- Literature for causation and apportionment: OpenEvidence or ChatGPT for Clinicians. Neither reads your file.
Tools we left out, and why
- Ambient scribes for treating visits (the "best AI for doctors" lists that Google shows for this phrase): built for EHR notes, not medical-legal reports.
- Applicant attorney tools that score QME reports against the AMA Guides: they read your report after service; they do not help you write it.
- Outsourced record summary services: a person other than you summarizing records is exactly what Labor Code 4628(b) makes you name, and the Gurrola Martinez panel decision shows the risk when it is not disclosed. Comparing those services is outside this site's job.
- Offshore "QME report writer" job ads, which filled 4 of 9 results for "ai qme report writing" on 2026-11-12. Hiring someone to draft the report runs into Labor Code 4628(a).
Questions about QME AI tools
Which QME AI tools sign a BAA?
On the pages we read on 2026-11-12, MediScan, IME Coach, InjuryMgmt, Workflow Labs and Medrecords AI state a BAA. Several others say they are HIPAA compliant without saying they sign a BAA with you, so ask for it in writing.
Which QME AI tool has California QME templates?
Docura lists QME, AME, Permanent and Stationary and supplemental templates. IME Coach learns your own format from past reports, and InjuryMgmt fills California PR-2 and PR-4 fields, which are treating physician forms.
What is the cheapest AI record tool for a QME?
For 1 file of about 1,500 pages a month, InjuryMgmt's $99 plan or OctopusLM after a $300 top-up cost least among published prices on 2026-11-12. At higher volume, compare per-page rates, and price a real file, because some tools bill duplicate pages and some do not.
