A functional capacity evaluation is an exam that evaluates an injured worker’s limitations and physical capacities while performing job related functions and tasks. An injured worker MUST attend an FCE if scheduled by the employer or MCO. If the injured worker does not attend a scheduled FCE, they are risking any current and future treatment and benefits.
