How to Dispute MMI
1. Contact a workers compensation attorney right away.
2. File a dispute with the agency in your state that deals with workers compensation within 90 days.
3. Get an opinion from a doctor that disagrees with the designated doctors report that determined you had reached MMI if you think the result is incorrect. Ask the doctor to review the designated doctors form and provide a detailed opinion about why the MMI is incorrect. Ask him to also provide an alternative calculation of what your impairment rating should be.
4. Ask your attorney to submit a Letter of Clarification to the agency requesting that the designated doctor look at additional medical records and opinions, and overturn the original doctors MMI assessment.
