Hi Gabe! The "pending medical form from " status means that has received your application but is waiting for your doctor to complete and submit the medical portion (Part B) of your claim. Your healthcare needs to fill out the medical certification that verifies your condition and inability to work. Make sure to follow up with your doctor's office to ensure they submit the form promptly, as delays can affect your benefit payments. You can check the status of your claim online or call the SDI line for updates.
Thanks for the clear explanation! I'm actually dealing with this same situation right now. My doctor's office said they submitted the form last week, but my status still shows "pending medical form from provider." How long does it typically take for to update the status once the medical form is submitted? Should I be worried if it's been over a week?
Hey Gabe! Just to add to what others have shared - the "pending medical form from " status essentially means your claim is on hold while waits for your doctor to complete their portion. Make sure you gave your doctor the correct receipt number when you submitted Part A online. Sometimes doctors' offices can be slow with these forms, so it's worth calling them to check if they need any additional information from you. Also, keep in mind that once your doctor submits the medical form, it can still take a few days to process and update your claim status. Stay on top of it and don't hesitate to follow up with both your doctor and if it's taking too long!
Hi Gabe! I went through this exact same situation a few months ago. The "pending medical form from " status means is waiting for your doctor to submit the medical certification (Part B) that goes with your claim. Here's what helped me speed up the process: 1) Call your doctor's office and confirm they have your receipt number, 2) Ask them specifically when they plan to submit it (some offices batch these weekly), and 3) Request they fax it directly to rather than mail it to avoid delays. In my case, once my doctor faxed the form, it took about 3-4 business days for my status to update online. Don't be afraid to be persistent with follow-ups - your benefits depend on it! Good luck!
This is really helpful advice, Emma! I'm curious about the faxing option you mentioned - did you have to provide your doctor's office with a specific fax number for claims, or is it the same general fax line? I'm in a similar situation and want to make sure my doctor sends it to the right place to avoid any additional delays. Also, when you say 3-4 business days after faxing, did your payment status change at the same time as your claim status, or was there another waiting period for the actual benefits to start?
