MMI payment
I herniated a cervical disc at work. I have had a two level cervical fusion,and have since been release to work. My doctor assigned a MMI rating of 25%. I was offered a 5%MMI rating prior to surgery, then my symptoms began to deteriorate, and I had to have surgery. The calculated amount my employer has offered only figures to be 3X the amount offered at 5%.
Shouldn't it calculate to be 5x the amount, since I am now rated at 25%?
I really don't want to delay the payoff procedure.
They gave me a PPI and PPD rate, but it all sounds confusing, and I don't know how they calculate the payoff.
Thanks
