A QRC or Qualified Rehabilitation Consultant is a third-party.  They’re supposed to be neutral.  This is a person that will come with you to your doctors’ appointments and communicate to everyone involved: what are your work restrictions, what is your treatment plan, and how can I get this person back to work.  The entire Minnesota worker’s compensation system is structured on getting an injured person back to work.  And a QRC is one of the main components in that plan.

Your choice of a QRC is very important.  You want this person to be independent and to be someone you can trust, because they’re coming with you to your doctors’ appointments.  Many times, a QRC recommended by an insurance company, at least in the back of their mind, has the insurance company’s bottom line kind of operating underneath the system.  So you want to make sure you find someone who is truly independent and that’s something our office can help you with.

Minnesota Workers’ Compensation attorney, Dana Gerber, discusses what a Qualified Rehabilitation Consultant is.
