Today, 8 April 2024, the Ministerial Implementing Order No 151/2024/1 establishing the pathologies that may be the subject of a medical certificate of multi-use incapacity (AMIM), in the context of the assessment of incapacity, with a transitional exemption from the medical board for the assessment of incapacity (JMAI).

Under the terms of the Decree-Law now published, where any of the pathologies listed in its Annex are at issue, the AMIM may be issued without submission to the JMAI, by a specialist doctor of the national health service, other than the specialist doctor who made the diagnosis.

The assessment shall be based on the results of the complementary diagnostic and therapeutic means provided that they have been carried out for less than one year and on the report of the medical specialist responsible for the diagnosis.

The AMIMs thus issued are valid for a period of five years from the date of their issue, and the interested party must, until the end of that period, request a JMAI.

The Directorate-General for Health, in conjunction with the Executive Directorate of the National Health Service, I.P., approves and publishes guidelines aimed at ensuring the standardisation of assessment methodologies and practices, within 30 days, when the decree now published will take effect.
