Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)

MMI is a treatment plateau in each person’s healing process. It means either you've fully recovered from the injury or your medical condition has stabilized to the point that more improvement is not expected.

You can reach MMI despite continuing medical treatment or rehabilitation programs.

What will happen to my claim when my physician states that I am MMI?
According to ORC 4123.56(A), when your physician states that you are MMI and can return to work, your temporary total compensation benefits may be terminated.

Your medical condition must be documented by a licensed physician and the report sent to your Customer Service Specialist(CSS). Your Managed Care Organization (MCO) will notify your CSS when there is reason to believe that you have reached MMI. As a result of reaching MMI, you may be eligible for other types of partial or permanent compensation. You will need to talk with your assigned CSS to discuss what other options are available to you.
