Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) - Why You Should be Skeptical

Описание: What does it mean when your workers’ compensation doctor declares that you are at “maximum medical improvement” (MMI)?

As I discuss in this video, MMI means that this particular doctor believes that he/she has done all that he/she can do and that your post-injury condition is as good as it will get.

The insurance company likes to hear that you are at MMI as this means that your medical treatment will be winding down and that you are ready for a permanent partial disability rating. This is what the insurance company uses to wind down your case.

We do not, however, have to accept the posted panel doctor’s conclusions about MMI. We can, and often do, ask for a second opinion with a more independent doctor. In some cases we can force the insurance company to pay for this second opinion.

We can also ask a workers compensation judge to order a change in treating physician.

The point here is that a posted panel doctor’s declaration that you have reached MMI is often less of a medical decision and more of a financial one to benefit the insurance company.

If you sense that the posted panel doctor proving treatment to you may not have your best interests at heart, please contact me to talk about your options - 770-351-0801.
