Your client has had their disability claim denied, and this can be a hugely negative experience for them. They may worry about whether or not they will be able to successfully appeal the denial. As their legal representative, it’s your job to try to encourage them not to give up yet, and explain to them how they will be able to go through the disability appeals process. Make it easier on yourself by getting a medical record summary.
Denial Due to Lack of Medical Information
It’s possible that the denial may have occurred because there was a lack of medical information in your client’s file. This may be because they did not submit all of the information that was available or that they didn’t know how to get access to their medical records. This can be frustrating to get a denial, but knowing that you’re able to go through the appeals process by offering more documentation can be essential. In some cases, you may find that by reviewing the medical information, you may be able to identify tests or procedures that need to be completed to further back this claim.
Medical Record Summary
The medical record summary is a document that will provide you and your client with the most up-to-date information that can be used to fight for the disability claim appeal. There is the possibility that additional tests or procedures that have occurred since the original application was completed could make a difference in the appeal. Rather than going through the process of trying to get the most current records through your own office, it’s beneficial to get a medical record summary from a summary service. Quick turnaround times for this necessary information will allow you to start the appeals process that much sooner to get your client back on track.
