What Businesses Need to Know About Maximum Medical Improvement
What is Maximum Medical Improvement?
Maximum Medical Improvement is the term given to a patient when they are at the highest level of recovery possible. In the simplest form it is what the doctor tells a patient is the highest level of recovery process possible for the affected party. It can mean a complete recovery that is fully and completely healed, or a partial one in which the level of healing is sufficient.
Maximum Medical Improvement and Worker’s Compensation
The Maximum Medical Improvement level for a patient is deeply ingrained in the worker’s compensation process. It relates to how long the recovery period will be, how much the injured worker can expect to receive in compensation for the injury, and how complete the recovery can be. That last part is important as it determines the different types of compensation an employee can receive for their condition once the Maximum Medical Improvement level has been reached. This can be nothing, or it can be that the injured worker is entitled to certain partial or long-term related compensations. Dealing with the Maximum Medical Improvement level for each individual injured worker can be one of the most confusing and difficult parts of the already frustrating process of handling worker’s compensation related issues for a company. Determining what each level means case by case and how it will affect compensation and procedures involved can be time consuming, and when confronted with a bloated, nightmarish setup for going about this it can be the bane of a company’s existence.
