C&p exam

[Troy Matthews]

Hi I had c&p exam for GMED/ORTHRO on 09/09/2019. Why does the exam says general medical and orthopedic,  because I know it's for my back which is the orthopedic portion but never had G/medical.  Also is the rationale opinion the the examiner wrote on the exam can be considered a nexus/link

The C&p exam was done 2wks ago and received by VARO the same day according to 1 800# peggy. Also I was able to see the C&P exam on myhealthvet 3 days after exam. As of Friday I don't think the exam had been reviewed by the rater yet.

Go there, go to Blue Button. Select Date range of the exam. Select Notes & Reports. Select PDF.

See what that brings down. Keep trying the combinations until you get the specific files that are "mostly" what is in the download.

In the alternative if you have Windows 10 it should have Print to PDF built in.

Download the whole file.

Search for just the C&P (in your PDF READER) find out all the page numbers your PDF Reader shows belong to the C&P. Go to File Print. Select Microsoft PDF. Print Range of Pages. save file as C&P whatever.

That will give you just the pages you selected as a separate PDF file.

Once you have that redact anything that looks like YOUR name and your Personal Info like SSN or Address. Including in the headers. Save that. Go to File  then Properties (depending on PDF reader) and look at the properties and meta data. erase your info from there or it will transmit as embedded data

-----------------------------------------

You should know that data in Blue Button is only there for a rolling 3 years. At a Minimum once a year on a consistent date you set, you should download everything.

I would suggest once a month, but then I am anal retentive.
