Just got an email from my poc saying “We need a current status report from your doctor describing your back pain, Range of motion, limitations. And Treatment.”
Anyone done this yet?
Literally just got done with that on Thursday. My POC gave me the run around at first.. said they needed a CSR so I went to the doctor, doctor said excellent prognosis, POC said that wasn’t sufficient enough and said I needed a Functional Capacity Exam, went back to my doctor and told them, doctor checked everything and said excellent ROM and wrote a letter saying I am medically fit to perform all duties expected of me. POC said that wasn’t sufficient enough and that’s not what a FCE is (unbeknownst to me) and finally for the third time told me I needed to see a physical therapist to conduct the FCE. Completed that on Thursday and the email/fax was sent to my POC today. This process has gone on over the course of the last 1-2 months and in the end has cost me $900 so I would double check with your POC for EXACTLY what they need instead of getting the runaround like I got.
