Here is a good link as to what state uses which Impairment Rating Guide from the AMA: http://www.impairment.com/Use_of_AMA_Guides.htm
The guides are a good source of what needs to be documented, also. In addition, your work comp carrier or medical disability offce will have their own forms that must be completed in their entirety.
I can't share our fee, but it is based on two hours of work because of the exam, rating the disability/MMI, and all the paperwork. We do use dx code V68.01
