Just found MMI. What's Next? VOC REHAB!

2/9/2012

Maximum Medical Improvement or MMI is tricky for most injured workers.  Even though it means the injured worker is medically improved to the maximum amount, it often leaves injured workers and their attorneys wondering... What's next?  The answer is simple.  Vocational Rehabilitation. 

Managed Care Organizations will rarely go out of their way to seek injured workers that have been found MMI to refer them to voc.  Most of the time, they consider their job of medically managing the claim to be finished.  What about the injured worker?  What happens to him or her?

MAKE A REFERRAL TO IVS FOR VOC REHAB SERVICES
If you or your client has been found MMI and have permanent work restrictions, make a referral into vocational rehabilitation.  At IVS, we can help injured workers identify their functional capacity, their transferrable skills, and perhaps get additional skills through a work adjustment program.  All of this leads to a job search and job placement to ultimately help them get back to work within their new physical restrictions. 

VOC REHAB MEANS ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION
Once in an approved voc rehab plan, an injured worker will receive living maintenance compensation.  Remember, IVS is an advocate for the injured workers.  Read more about the IVS DIFFERENCE.

If you are MMI and need help on the next step, complete the intake form online.  An IVS staff member will submit your request to the appropriate people and contact you shortly.

my husband has been an amputee since age 19, now 57. his 1099 last year was 27,000 but is going down now due to ill-fitting, old prosthesis. Voc Rehab has helped him 2x since 2001 to get new leg so he can keep working and up the hours (salary) worked. please let us know what to do next. thank you very much i do not work as we have an adult handicapped son who lives with us and he does get disability $710 per month and medicaid. are we eligible for any medical insurance. i am 61. thank you again!!
