Stay Consistent With Medical Care
Regular treatment creates documentation showing how your condition has progressed and how it affects
your daily life.
Attend scheduled appointments.
Follow prescribed treatment when possible.
Tell your healthcare providers when symptoms prevent normal activities or work.
Gaps in treatment don’t automatically disqualify you, and there can be legitimate reasons for missing
appointments. If you can’t follow a treatment plan because of cost, side effects, transportation, or another
obstacle, make sure your healthcare provider knows about it.
