It has been a couple weeks since I was assigned a remedial to get, an echocardiogram for my heart murmur, and I have called them a couple times and was prompted to leave a message and they would return my call, which I did both times and have heard nothing, and I was wondering how long does it typically take for a doctor to be assigned to me?
 
Well it takes 5 business days for DoDMETS to get the orders to schdule you an exam. If you find your own and pay for it you can save that time. But you can also take the correspondence to a MTF on an installation to get it taken care of asap.
 
My son had a remedial to get an echo. We chose to just get our own. It ended up costing 485 out of pocket but got an appointment quick, everything was normal and he was qualified a week later. Good luck.
 
If you can get your own doctor is better because you can see the results first before sending them in. If you are not able to do this monetary wise then do it with them but it could take about a two weeks for them to find a doctor for you.
