SSRI Pathway 1

[TaxiOut]

Good Evening,

I have been working with my regional flight surgeons office after my AME never uploaded a progress note for my deferred exam. I can’t say for certain why, however they (RFS) have been so helpful, in getting me back on track. They recently sent me a reconsideration letter requesting a detail progress note (they listed out everything the doctor has to mention) and requested a 5 year pharmacy record. I have used CVS for as long as I can remember and went to the location today and they stated they only retrain 2 years of records and have no way of getting the 5 year. Has anybody that has gone through this worked with CVS and is it possible to get the 5 year somehow? I have changed jobs a few times, but luckily have always used CVS. I’m just concerned since (atleast they say) they don’t have 5 years that it will not be satisfactory for the RFS. Please forgive my ignorance on this subject. Thanks!

Can’t you get the records from a treating physician(s) to suppliment the CVS records? I haven’t had that request, but getting letter from the treating physician was always a request for my case.

Tried and they were less than helpful. I’ll try what longhorn had suggested and ask the physician.

You have to ask the pharmacist for the corporate office correspondence address, they have it all going back for as long as you can remember. IIRC there is a $10.00 nominal fee and it takes about 2 weeks to obtain.

Thank you all, I was able to get those records. Another question, and I apologize. In the pharmacy records there is a single prescription for trazadone that was prescribed prior to a surgery and the medication following the surgery. Are they going to cause a stink over the misc medications on the records? The medication causing the concern is in there with dates but I’m wondering if I should send anything else in with the progress note. I know folks say nothing more or less then they ask for, but I can’t control what is on that pharmacy record and I’m sure they wouldn’t take to kind crossing out medications even if they don’t apply to the diagnosis causing the hold up. I don’t want to open any unnecessary can of worms. Curious of your thoughts. Thanks again all!

Get documentation that you had surgery at that time!

Thank you. I figured they would be the path but I wanted to be sure to follow the “Don’t give them more than they need, only give them what they ask for” route.
