What is a permanent impairment rating or MMI rating?
Pursuant to AMA guidelines, the treating doctor eventually makes a final narrative at the conclusion of your treatment. When we speak of conclusion of treatment, it means that when the treating physician has decided you are at MMI. This is an acronym for maximum medical improvement and simply means you are as good as you are going to get. It is at that point that some doctors assign, and insurance companies request, a permanent impairment rating. This rating is an important number that many automobile issuance companies use to value your case.
