The article

What changed in the last quarter for AI tools sold to the QME: new vendors, launches, pricing, language?

What the data says

  • 8 of 23 publish a price a buyer can act on without a sales call.
  • Of 74 public reviews of AI vendors in this category, 2 mention accuracy or error at all.

What QME vendors put on their pages

The 14 QME pages named in sources split into 3 kinds. 8 are homepages, product pages or a rates page. 3 are review services pages, where the vendor sells a person or a team doing the review. 3 are articles: 2 med-legal billing cheat sheets (DoctorMGT, and a 2021 daisyBill post) and a Long Health post on AI chronology in California.

Rapid Care is the only named vendor with a page built around a California QME rule, an AB 1293 template for the record set. MDpanel is the only one selling QME practice management by name. 13 of the 14 named pages were captured on 2026-09-07 in the discovery pass, so this set is newer and thinner than the claims set.

Who is shipping

The chart counts the share of dated sitemap URLs that changed in the last 180 days. It measures the website, not the product.

Measured from public sitemaps on 2026-09-06 to 2026-09-07. 8 vendors in this set publish no lastmod dates, so their velocity is recorded as not measured rather than as zero.

Doqtor and Rapid Care changed every dated URL, and MRR Health Tech 97%. United Medical Evaluators (57%), LevelShift (30%) and MDpanel (13%) move more slowly. The fastest-moving named site, Doqtor, also blocks AI crawlers.

Crawler blocking is highest here

3 of 23 QME vendors block AI crawlers in robots.txt (13%), the highest share of the 3 audiences in this series. Among claims vendors, it is 1 of 34 (3%). Among LNC vendors, it is 1 of 17 (6%). The named blockers are Doqtor and SMARTMD. A QME who asks an AI assistant to compare tools will get less about those vendors, because the assistant cannot read their sites.

The same set leads on llms.txt: 10 of 23 publish an llms.txt file (43%), the highest share of the 3 audiences in this series. Among claims vendors, it is 7 of 34 (21%). Among LNC vendors, it is 6 of 17 (35%). The QME market is split between vendors that want AI agents to find them and vendors that keep them out.

Prices and proof

8 of 23 QME vendors publish a price a buyer can act on without a sales call (35%), the middle share of the 3 audiences in this series. Among claims vendors, it is 9 of 34 (26%). Among LNC vendors, it is 9 of 17 (53%). SMARTMD is the named example. 9 of 23 say the output cites back to the source page (39%), the middle share of the 3 audiences in this series. Among claims vendors, it is 12 of 34 (35%). Among LNC vendors, it is 13 of 17 (76%). An uncited summary leaves the QME to find each page again before relying on it in a report.

What to watch next quarter

  • Whether more vendors build pages around California rules, as Rapid Care did for AB 1293.
  • Whether Doqtor and SMARTMD drop their crawler blocks.
  • Whether the services firms (LevelShift, SMARTMD, United Medical Evaluators) publish what their AI does and what their reviewers do.
  • Whether any of the 15 QME vendors without a public price prints one.

Methodology

This is a secondary-research study, not a survey. QME vendors were thin in our deep corpus, so most of this set comes from a targeted discovery pass on 2026-09-06 and 2026-09-07.

What we did

  1. A vendor counts for QMEs only when its own site names California QMEs or med-legal evaluations.
  2. Discovery-pass vendors were scraped shallowly, often 1 page. Billing and practice-management firms are in the set because they name QMEs, even where they sell no AI.
  3. Sitemaps, llms.txt and robots.txt were pulled live on 2026-09-06 and 2026-09-07.

What this cannot tell you

This measures what vendors publish, not what their software does. Most QME vendors have no public reviews, so this page says less about buyer experience than the claims and LNC pages do. Every count is over this vendor set on these dates. It is not a market share estimate.

Frequently asked

How many vendors are behind the numbers on this page?

23. A vendor is counted for California QMEs only when it names that audience on its own commercial pages and carries page-level evidence in this study. The full pool is 364 companies, of which 90 carry that evidence.

Which QME AI vendors block AI crawlers?

3 of 23, including Doqtor and SMARTMD. That is the highest share in this series: 1 of 34 claims vendors and 1 of 17 LNC vendors block them. An AI assistant cannot read a blocked site.

Do QME tools publish prices?

8 of 23 publish a price a buyer can act on without a sales call. SMARTMD is the named example, and its pricing page is in the sources.

Which QME vendor sites change most?

Doqtor and Rapid Care changed 100% of their dated sitemap URLs in 180 days and MRR Health Tech 97%. MDpanel changed 13%. 8 vendors publish no dates and are not measured.

Why were most QME pages captured in September?

QME vendors were thin in our 2026-08-13 deep scrape, so we ran a discovery pass on 2026-09-06 and 2026-09-07. 13 of the 14 named pages come from it. Those pages were read shallowly, often 1 page per site.
