Re:patient letter example - test questions

[Guest guest]

Is the test official now? I thought Dr. R. was just proposing it.

What are the rules regarding the test. I just incorporated the

answers into my pt. letter, which I haven't sent in yet. New post-

op's did you have to take the test? I will have been researching

this for a year by the time I have it and I still feel this is the

surgery for me. , MGB hopeful in January.

Hi,

My understanding about the test is that everyone is not being through

enough. That many of the letters are about the same, because we are all

going by the sample letter...

So, by the test, he will know if we have done the research..

I am finished with my packet. I am just waiting for insurance approval

before I send it in.. I think I will add a little more about the

different surgeries.. This means more research..

I think I will go to the page where they are all compared and print it

and then put it in my own words...
