Have anyone noticed the psychologists do not include GAF's on medical/psychological visits records anymore?
I get copies of all my medical records and visits at least once a month for all visits that month. I have been asking my psychologists where the GAF? they all said they do not utalize the use of it on their records. This has been over a year now.
I even asked for them to put it on at least one as my appointments records and they state they won't. They say too much emphasis has been placed on using the #'s in the past and they are not likely to be used during normal counseling sessions.
I told them I didn't want to leave anything open for the VA to come in and reduce my % for not having verification, and not having #'s documented, and they said, we don't use that system anymore.
This is 3 different ones, 2 at one VAMC, and 1 at another VAMC.
I told them my appointment mail that comes to my house each month has typed across the top "Needs New Gaf." But no one will put it in!
