Meet Joe Tichio — A QME-Informed Partner for Surgeons
Joe Tichio, Manager & President of United Medical Evaluators, LLC, brings over 20 years of experience in medical-legal administration and a 25-year background as a licensed chiropractor, former Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME), and QME continuing education instructor.
Having experienced the medical-legal process firsthand — from performing evaluations to interpreting regulations and teaching best practices — Joe designed United Medical Evaluators to meet the real-world needs of orthopaedic surgeons. His systems reflect both the precision surgeons expect and the compliance rigor California requires.
Joe’s mission is clear: protect your time, ensure regulatory compliance, and make your reports reflect your expertise and professional voice. He works personally with each physician to create customized workflows that simplify scheduling, report formatting, and follow-through.
When he’s not optimizing QME operations, Joe enjoys spending time with his wife and children, hiking Northern California trails, and tending to his garden.
