Section 616B.77725 - Guidelines for use by Board in rating permanent physical impairment of multiple body parts1. For the purposes of subsection 3 of NRS 616B.578, the ratings of permanent impairment of two or more body parts, organ systems or organ functions may not be added together or combined to reach a rating of permanent impairment of 6 percent or more of the whole person to qualify a condition as a permanent physical impairment.2. The Administrator shall, and the Board will, use the American Medical Association's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment as a reference for determining whether a rating of permanent impairment totals 6 percent or more of the whole person to qualify a condition as a permanent physical impairment pursuant to NRS 616B.578. Multiple body parts unrelated to a subsequent injury will not be considered as one impairment. Each body part, organ system or organ function included within a claim for reimbursement from the Account must satisfy the definition of "permanent physical impairment" in NRS 616B.578 to qualify the body part, organ system or organ function for reimbursement under the claim.Nev. Admin. Code § 616B.77725
