EDD Medical Exam Success - Anyone Else Have a Good Experience?
Just had my medical exam for EDD and it went great! Anyone else have a positive experience recently? I was nervous about it but everything turned out fine. Curious to hear how it's going for others.

Congrats on the good exam! I had mine last month and it was pretty smooth too. The doctor was really professional and made me feel at ease. Glad to hear more positive experiences out there!

ā¢What kinda questions did they ask you? I've got mine coming up next week and I'm lowkey freaking out š°

ā¢Don't stress! They just asked about my condition, how it affects my work, and did some basic physical tests. Nothing too invasive. You'll be fine!

Man, you're lucky. My exam was a nightmare. Doctor seemed like he was having a bad day and rushed through everything. Barely listened to me explain my situation. Now I'm worried about my claim š

ā¢That sucks! Have you thought about requesting another exam? I've heard some people have had success with that.

ā¢Didn't even know that was an option. How do you go about doing that?

ā¢You can call EDD and explain the situation. Sometimes they'll approve a second opinion if you felt the first exam wasn't thorough enough. Worth a shot!

Quick tip for anyone struggling to get through to EDD on the phone: I found this site (claimyr.com) that has a calling tool. It dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

ā¢I used it last week and it actually worked! Got through in about 45 minutes without having to listen to that awful hold music šµš

ā¢$20 tho? Seems kinda steep just to make a phone call...

ā¢I get it, but for me it was worth every penny. Time is money, and I wasted way too much time trying to get through on my own.

Here's my comprehensive guide to nailing your EDD medical exam: ā¢ Prepare all your medical documents beforehand ā¢ Be honest about your condition and its impact on your work ā¢ Dress comfortably but presentably ā¢ Arrive early to reduce stress ā¢ Take notes during the exam ā¢ Ask questions if anything is unclear ā¢ Follow up with EDD after the exam to ensure they received the results Remember, the doctor is there to assess your condition, not to judge you. Stay calm and focused, and you'll do great!

ā¢Quick question - do you know if we're allowed to bring someone with us for support?

ā¢Good question! Generally, you can bring someone, but they usually can't be in the exam room. Check with EDD to be sure tho.

Anyone else feel like the whole EDD system is just designed to make us give up? Been fighting with them for months and I'm bout ready to throw in the towel š¤

PSA: If anyone's having trouble with their online account, EDD just updated their system last week. Might need to clear your browser cache or try a different browser if you're getting errors.
