Nevada uses the American Medical Association's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment for all permanent partial disability ratings, rather than a fixed schedule of weeks for specific body parts. Temporary total disability benefits continue until medical stationary status or return to work, with no fixed statutory week limit.
