Referred for an impairment rating or maximum medical improvement evaluation in Houston? Contact our team to ask about the examination, referral requirements and appointment availability. Have your referral or examination notice ready when you call.
Maximum medical improvement, commonly called MMI, is a milestone used when assessing recovery from a work-related injury. An impairment rating describes permanent impairment related to that injury. An evaluation addresses specific medical questions; it is different from a routine treatment appointment.
Texas workers’ compensation uses specific examination roles. A certifying doctor and a designated doctor appointed by the Texas Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) have different responsibilities. Your referral or examination notice identifies the type of visit requested.
Prepare your claim details, referral notice, medical records, imaging reports and medication list. Write down your symptoms, treatment history and difficulties with activities or job duties. Ask the office which documents to send ahead and how to submit them.
Before booking, explain whether the request concerns MMI, an impairment rating or another examination issue. Ask which provider will perform the evaluation, where the appointment will take place and whether any referral or network approval is needed. The office can confirm whether the requested service fits your circumstances.

No. A rating examination addresses an evaluation question. Ongoing care and follow-up treatment may involve a different appointment or provider.
The result depends on the relevant medical findings and applicable evaluation requirements. An appointment request does not guarantee a particular rating or claim outcome.
