Need advice: Getting medical provider to fill out disability claim forms before deadline

Been there, done that. Make sure your doc fills out EVERYTHING. Double check all the signatures and dates before you send it in. Trust me, you don't want it sent back cuz of some stupid mistake.

Ugh, the disability claim process is such a pain. I swear they make it complicated on purpose 🙄

Pro tip: Call your doctor's office first thing Monday morning. Explain the urgency and ask if they can squeeze you in. Sometimes they have cancellations or can fit you in during lunch. Good luck!

I found a method to get someone on the phone quickly. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to know about getting your medical forms filled out for a disability claim: • Act fast: Time is crucial. The sooner you get the forms to your doctor, the better. • Be clear with your doctor: Explain the urgency and provide all necessary information about your condition. • Follow up: Don't just drop off the forms. Call or email to ensure they're being processed. • Be thorough: Make sure ALL sections are filled out completely. Incomplete forms are the #1 reason for delays. • Get copies: Always keep copies of everything for your records. • Submit early if possible: If you can submit before the deadline, do it. This gives you a buffer in case of any issues. • Consider a medical records request: If your doctor is too busy, you might be able to get the records department to help fill out parts of the form. Remember, persistence is key. Don't be afraid to be a squeaky wheel - your benefits depend on it!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get the benefits we deserve? 🤔

Quick question - does anyone know if electronic signatures are accepted on these forms? My doc mentioned something about it but I'm not sure.

Hot take: maybe try faxing the forms to your doc's office? Old school, I know, but sometimes it gets their attention faster than email. Just a thought! 📠

Anybody else feel like they're playing a game of bureaucratic Jenga with these forms? One wrong move and the whole thing comes crashing down 😅
