Optum Serve performed 11 exams in 45 minutes. I am going to attach them here. I am using a lawyer to help with this, but they told me that the only positive exam was for my knees....After reading through it, there are several questions I don't even recall being asked, yet they clicked no on the answer, for example, see attached. how can I have no flare-ups, but report functional loss or impairment for repeated use? She never asked that question. Of course I have flare-ups.
If anybody is bored tonight, read through these pages and give me a your thoughts. If I need to rebut these exams, I need to do it before they make a decision.
By the way, while it's a small amount, I am a monthly contributor to keep this site going.

It's funny they denied hearing loss, but they said I have moderate to severe loss in one ear and severe in the other, and they gave me hearing aids. SMH.
