A: I'm not too sure what your question is. It sounds like you are going to a CCH to determine if you are at maximum medical improvement and what your current impairment rating is. You will likely need a DWC 69 report from a doctor that supports your position at the CCH. You should consult with a workers compensation attorney to discuss your legal rights.
