Sacramento Doctor Exam Attorneys
If you have become disabled and you are no longer able to work, it may be tough to afford regular expenses. You may lose your medical insurance, and with treatment still costing as much as ever, medical bills can pile up quick. In fact, many people with disabilities who are unable to work cannot afford medical treatment or enough medical treatment to fully recover.
Fortunately, there are options for receiving free or reduced cost medical treatment. At Milam Law, in Northern California, our attorneys have the experience and resources that our clients need in the process of filing for Social Security disability benefits. We work diligently to help our clients get access to the medical treatment that they need.

Getting medical treatment for your condition is not only important for your physical well-being. It is also a crucial piece of the success of your Social Security disability benefits claim. If you do not receive treatment, those who will review your claim may believe that your disability is not as serious as you think it is, and may use that as a reason to deny your claim. So, you must get current treatment for each and every limiting medical condition from which you suffer. Do not rest just before you go to your doctor exams. Clients consistently tell us this is what they do, so they are able to better make it through the day. However, if you do this, the doctors often do not see you serious signs and medical problems. For example, if you have leg swelling, if you rest and elevate your legs before an appointment, the doctor likely will not see the swelling at its worst, if at all! So, the report will say "no swelling noted," and Social Security will not think your swelling complaints are valid. So, do not do anything to hurt yourself, but before you go to your doctor exams, do those things you do around your home to cause your medical symptoms to be visible.; That way, the medical records will show your normal, daily problems (not after you have laid down for six hours beforehand).
If you cannot afford medical care, we may be able to refer you to sources of free or reduced-cost medical treatment. We can also work with your doctor to ensure that your claim presents your disability as strongly and fairly as possible. Usually, there is some area of medical care available to you, although it is more difficult now than we have seen in the last 30 years, due to the extreme medical/economic crisis we have presently (which is likely even to worsen in many respects). Let us, at Milam Law, help you navigate through the quagmire of medical options out there.
