Subject: [MCOH-EH] AMA GUIDES 6th Edition in CA

Dear colleagues in California:
  Since I recently moved back, I was wondering if CA has now fully adopted the AMA Guides 6th edition for impairment rating to where ratings done using the 5th edition need to be re-done .
    We had one employer requesting this on an over a year old rating and I was curious to hear from you.

Thanks much,

Enass
