Medici - Operation 11/11

[Foxhound6]

Just to let all know, (Thanks to Berta and Stumpy for catching this!) Medici is offering free consults to Veterans this Veterans day. I signed up as I need a consult with an Ortho. My hope is that this helps us establish medical baselines for some of us so that we can proceed to get our IMO's or just to have a diagnosis. I am not sure how effective these consults will be with the VA process but it is worth a shot. For all those interested, head here and click the learn more link under Operation 11/11.

Then sign up, get app and wait for the day to arrive.

UPDATE: So I went thru the process of Medici and the app. It was very simple to use and the concierge was great. The provider I spoke with that was trying to get me to a specialist was very informative and personable. Great chat experience really.

The unfortunate news is that after a good long wait (but great conversation about Vet struggles with claims and getting outside medical help at lower cost), the rep informed me that disability forms or those alike are not a part of the emerging tele-medicine world quite yet... So if you had some small hope of that on this initiative, it doesn't seem to be the case. However, they do provide excellent services today for those who don't need the DBQ's and opinions. Definitely a nice initiative, a better one I have seen for vets in some time to be honest. Free food is great but this is probably much more beneficial.

The rep even went as far as recommending what Oceanbound has regarding Psychical Medicine and Rehab and provided a nice link to look up board certified PM&R providers in your area:

The rep is actually still messaging me! Even after we have fully established that I cannot be assisted. They stated they work with a great PM&R physician and may interested in seeing if they would like to try and form a network of PM&R physicians to deal with our highly sought after DBQ and IMO/E dilemmas at a discounted rate. I told the rep that this would be FANTASTIC. He informed me he already put out the feelers with their physician and some sort of networking platform for PM&R physicians! 

Right now, the rep tells me if they get traction they will connect me directly via the app chat. I will follow up with more!

That's good news.
