What Is Maximum Medical Improvement?

I’m Ched Jennings, Founder of the Jennings Law Offices. Let’s talk about a term called Maximum Medical Improvement, or MMI. You’re really going to get to know this term.

This is the point where your medical improvement has plateaued. It doesn’t mean you’re done with workers’ comp benefits. It doesn’t mean you’re not going to need future medical treatment. It simply means you’ve reached your best level of improvement following your work injury.

Not so surprising, doctors can have differing opinions as to the date you reach MMI. From a benefits standpoint, this date is important because it changes how your benefits are calculated and the amount you receive.

As your attorney, I’ll work to ensure your date of MMI is fair and objective. I won’t simply take the opinion of the company doctor. They’re not always on your side.

We’ll talk more about MMI during our initial interview.

Again, I’m Ched Jennings. Thanks for listening.
