Section 32-1-8.2 - MEDICAL CONSULTATION

Each MDRS District has a Medical Consultant that can be utilized by the OSDP staff. The medical consultants help Counselors interpret medical data and advise them regarding impairments.

It is important to remember that Counselors make all decisions regarding a client's eligibility for services.

Medical Consultation is required for the following situations:

* When there is conflicting medical information or recommendations for treatment.

* When multiple disabilities complicate the provision of services;

* To certify the acceptability of medical reports;

* To help interpret medical information received and provide information regarding the functional limitations that are not always clearly stated in medical reports.
