I'm sure you guys have heard of companies like Binder and Binder (disability attorneys).
If patients send you paperwork from these type of people, how do you go about it? My personal opinion is that unless something is fractured or there is a loss of a limb, etc disability is unwarranted. I'm sure others feel different.
For some minor disc bulges or facet arthropthy somewhere.....
The issue is, if a company like the above requests your information adn then asks you the patient's functional capacity, how many hours can be worked, etc....how do you guys go about doing this? Literally there are like 20 pages to fill out!!
Do you guys send people like this for a functional capacity? Do you send them to PMR folks (which I know some of you guys are), Occ Med docs? Some people may hv legit issues I agree, but some are just Medicaid people that are trying to milk the system. I do not want to contribute! However, if a lawyer sends it to me, am I bound to having to fill this paperwork out?
