Hello all,
QUESTION: I am currently active duty with 19 years and 10 months undergoing treatment in ORTHO for knees, left shoulder (3 months post surgery) and hip (declined surgery). Preciously moving closer and closer with PCM all year towards potential MED BOARD; however, during my Ortho appointment today, the Ortho Doc Said he would be referring me to the MEB as it would be in my best interest. I was under the impression that a P3 had to be put in to intitiate; however, he said he referred me and I should receive a phone call from the MEB department in a few days. I received the phone call hours later regarding matters to schedule a telephonic record review with the MEB DOC to determine whether my referred conditions warrant an MEB.
QUESTION:
- Is this sequence the norm going over matters by phone?
- Would it be wise to see my PCM who I’ve been working with the last couple months prior to conducting this telephonic review?
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
