\nIn its simplest form, maximum medical improvement or MMI<\/strong>, is the doctor\u2019s way of saying \u201cit\u2019s as good as it\u2019s going to get.\u201d\u00a0 When an injury has occurred and the employee reaches a state where his or her condition cannot be improved, the doctor will inform the patient\/client they have reached MMI.\u00a0 Once MMI is reached, the treating physician is saying no other reasonable treatment can be done to help the patient\/client improve.\u00a0 Although, you may not be 100% better, you have reached a state where you have done everything you can do in that point in time.\u00a0 All of the treatment options should be exhausted before it is determined a patient has reached MMI.<\/p>\n

\"MiddleIf the patient is receiving workers compensation benefits and reaches MMI, his or her condition will be assessed, and the doctor will give a disability rating.\u00a0 Your attorney should request a written statement from your doctor when you have reached MMI, which should also contain your disability rating.\u00a0 Depending on the rating, the doctor will advise your employer on what tasks may or may not be performed, these are known as work restrictions.\u00a0 For example, if you have suffered a back injury but are able to return to work, your doctor may medically advise you to perform sit down or sedentary tasks.\u00a0 Since a back tends to get stiff after sitting down for long periods of time, the doctor may also advise you be able to hold a position where if necessary, you are able to stand up and work.\u00a0 Obviously, depending on your condition, it may be hard to hold a position that can do both, and the employer may not have a position where this is possible.\u00a0 The disability rating is important because depending on your condition, it is a key component in negotiating your settlement amount.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
\nGenerally speaking, if your case has not been settled and your injury worsens within 2 years after reaching MMI, you should go back to your doctor.\u00a0 You should not suffer through the pain because you are afraid to go, it\u2019s important to let the doctor know of your condition.\u00a0 The doctor will medically determine whether your condition has worsened or not and if further treatment is necessary.<\/p>\n

If you are not happy with your doctor\u2019s evaluation when they feel you have reached maximum medical improvement, you are entitled to a second opinion.\u00a0 However, before you proceed you should consult a workers\u2019 compensation attorney<\/a> who is able to guide you in the right direction.
