Jennifer,
MMI means Maximum Medical Improvement. Basically this
means that he is as good as he is going to get. The Rating
he is looking for is the permanent partial impairment rating
or the disability rating. Hope this helps. These are all
normal and pertinant questions for a boss to ask by the way!
