I saw in Myhealthevet where my PCP added the info I requested. I am hoping this is good to go in regards to IU? (as well as treatment notes, of course):
Patient is a 47 year old male here for follow up his PTSD, OSA and migraine headaches -reviewed chart and interviewed patient, he is unable to maintain gainful employment due to his PTSD. He avoids crowds, is easily distracted in working environment and difficulty with conflict and stress. Has been unable to hold down jobs. Currently on temporary leave in an effort to get needed treatment initiated. Wrote letter stating that he continues to be unable to work. His PTSD is directly related to his time in the service as a medic. - migraine/headaches worse, excerbated by stress, PTSD symptoms and poor sleep associated with obstructive sleep apnea. MRI brain pending for later this week to further evaluate. -
Has been seen by outside pulmonary sleep specialist for his obstructive sleep apnea. Notes that OSA is known to exacerbate PTSD symptoms
ACTIVE PROBLEM
Depression
Headache
Anxiety
Posttraumatic stress disorder
Tear of meniscus of knee
retinal detachment
Obstructive sleep apnea of adult
PTSD: patient involved in intensive treatment plan, followed by pharmacy for medication adjustment, has been seen by a counselor and is in group therapy - he is unable to maintain gainful employment due to his service related PTSD - currently on short term disability and leave from work, will readdress at next visit in March but it is unlikely that he will capable of returning to work environment.
My LCSW (PTSD counselor) has stated she is going to put something in notes as well, along these lines?
Any thoughts on how this looks for me for IU?
