Money & Insurance Claims for Injuries & Illnesses: Medical RecordKeeping

My new book, Money & Insurance Claims for Injuries & Illnesses: Medical RecordKeeping, is now available at Amazon.com

Money & Insurance Claims for Injuries & Illnesses: Medical RecordKeeping provides a guide for creating a Medical Appointments Book, a Prescription Journal, and a Medical Status Journal. It seeks to respond to three needs of people impaired now, or who may be in the future:

One, it helps to find the words, to describe or explain their symptoms, including pain.

Two, it advocates that people must properly complete “medical” forms and retain copies of completed forms and their own records of their care and treatment.

Three, it recommends that people create medical status diaries to describe their baseline health and/or to record symptoms that may be associated with future illnesses such as Long Covid or fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome.

This book is a guide to creating a Medical Appointments Book, a Prescription Journal, and a Medical Status Journal.

In 2013, Patricia A. Petow, a now retired Massachusetts attorney, published How to Get Social Security Disability & SSI Disability at Amazon.com. https://www.amazon.com/How-Get-Social-Security-Disability/dp/1495315045

Social Security Disabiity

How To Get Social Security Disability & SSI Disability
by Patricia A. Petow was written to help applicants succeed in their claims for disability benefits under Social Security and under SSI.

How To Get Social Security Disability & SSI Disability
focuses on winning strategies. The book provides line-by-line guidance for applicants and their representatives for the major disability application forms. The book also includes templates for applicants to organize their medical and prescription records.

Petow notes that many disabled people have difficulty articulating how their disabilities impact their lives. She recommends that disabled claimants enlist the support of a “personal advocate” as well as an attorney or non-attorney representative.

Petow argues that properly completed Social Security forms can serve as a low cost “day in the life video.”

The paperback edition sells for $5.99, and the Kindle edition sells for $2.99.
