Hi All,
I am new here, but not new to forums. I have a question, okay maybe a few, LOL, and I'm having anxiety! I did try searching your wonderful posts and can't quite find the answers.
Today, I received my first CDR in the mail! As if things weren't tough enough already and I feel the same anxiety I felt while applying. I got approved in 2010 and got retro pay back to 2007. I received the short form and I know it's read by a computer after I fill it out. Also, I've read to not put any new info on it, like my last surgery a yr ago, unrelated to my disabilities, as it will throw up a red flag.
So, they are asking for my doctor appts, what it was for and even if for prescriptions since February 2011, starting with recent first. They give you 3 lines for 3 appts. Any more, you can add it under the remarks section, 5 lines.
Now in one year, I've had many appts and, every single month, I have to pick up my scripts from the doctor. How do I do this, I just saw my primary today for a physical, Thurs called my pain doc for my scripts, a few months prior saw pain doc for my every 3 month "check my pain levels and to see if I'm worsening". I have severe DDD of the cervical spine, 4 spine surgeries, Depression, Asthma and Post Concussion Syndrome, and anxiety.
How do I write every month of the past yr and a half, picking up my scripts? How do I fit in all my different appts? So sorry, please bear with me,
It will take up the lines in the remarks section! Not to mention, the computer will more than likely kick it out to a human, then it opens up getting a long form!!
I want them to know I take my meds religiously since day 1 and I do go to my follow ups, but in excessively writing that all in the remarks section, I know the computer will kick it out! Only because everything else is to be in caps and in those blocks for the computer to read!
Please help Me, after the battle to get approved, I need to do this right.
Thank You so much if you can help me! I'm really terrified of messing this up!
