DS has eye and medical appts scheduled. He has downloaded and printed packet for medical, but is there separate paperwork to bring to the eye exam? There is a greyed out area that says "See Opto Exam" but no additional paperwork relating to eyes.

Also, do we turn in our copies of doctors' and PT notes for the additional questionnaires to the medical provider at the appointment and hope they pass on the stack to whomever does the "assessing," or do we get them to the DoDMERB officials some another way?

Thanks for any info!

I don't remember DS taking any paperwork to Optometrist Appt.

FWIW, he did provide additional info paperwork to the physician who did the physical and none of those items resulted in additional info requests. I'm not sure if the paperwork helped or the explanation he wrote on the questionnaire was satisfactory.

He kept copies of all of it just in case.

Good luck!

This may help, I am not logged into DODMERB so I couldn't get direct link. This walks you through process. As for documents for appointments, our DS printed his packet twice. Took one copy to Dr. and one to Eye appt. Eye doctor didn't need it, they were linked to an online database for the exam. Both were received by DODMETS within 24 hours, then they make sure your paperwork is all correct, including coordinating with the Dr. offices. Then, it goes to DODMERB. If any documents are needed, it will pop up in your DS DODMERB portal, it is a play by play of what is happening. Same is true of DODMETS, you can see each step as it goes. The link I gave you shows where to send any requested paperwork. Read through some DODMERB posts, there is really good info. I did preemptively take all orthopedic records with us to Dr. appt. He asked questions about injury, made notes and did not want the records. Said if needed DODMERB would let us know. But, at least I had it on hand if needed. Make sure DS enters his appointment times in DODMETS. Good luck to you!
 
Thank you for the info and the link! I'll take everything to both appointments just in case but sounds like nothing will be needed for the optometry.
 
Just wanted to update. We went to the eye appt but the provider didn't need any paperwork. The appt lasted 5 min. Next stop is medical next week!
