My daughter is applying to the USCGA and has been advised by DoDMERB that she needs to take the Methacholine challenge test. Concorde medical has not authorized it on the website yet. When I called, Concorde stated that they don't have anyone in our area authorized to give the test and there will be at least a 30 day delay till they can find someone to give the test.
My questions are:
1. Do we have to worry that it is delayed? She has received a conditional appointment from the USCGA, but if she ends up needing a waiver or anything, this could end up dragging into the spring. Is that a problem?
2. We live about half way between Indianapolis and Chicago. Would it be to our advantage or disadvantage to advise Concorde of our location and drive to the exam.....or should we just wait it out.
Thanks
Mike
