Maximum medical improvement (MMI) is the moment when a seaman's condition will no longer improve with further medical treatment. At that moment, the employer's obligation to provide maintenance and cure is considered fulfilled. Any further treatment beyond this point would only serve to make the injured seaman more comfortable.
