Care managers are available daily, including most weekends, to see you at home and get your intake visit started. The process begins during your intake visit, and the manager will collect all of the relevant records and images for your case. Depending on the complexity of your case, and where you may have had previous testing, record collection varies in length and impacts the time to render the opinion. Our team’s focus is to take the burden off of you, and we will do our best to facilitate the collection of your records in a timely fashion. Cases are generally completed in under two weeks (and less where medically indicated).
