Previous 8500 forms

[Oxman]

Where can I find previous 8500-8 form on MedXpress so I have accurate previous doctor visit dates for the next AME visit? This will make filling out the 8500 form much easier.

Might need a med records request via OKC?

No. He showed me where, but I can't find it now.

Not helpful, but I never found a way to see the previous forms. I've started saving a PDF copy of the form every time I get a new medical

It won’t help now, but going forward - I keep a Pages file with dates, names, and addresses. Any time I go to a doctor or specialist, I add it to the top. When it’s time to submit a medical I delete everything more than 3 years old off the bottom. Additionally, I have a note of the boxes to check YES and the appropriate dates and dispositions. Never guess again.

If I remembered to do that every time, I could probably remember the last 3 years as well. My hack - look at the transactions on my HSA account for the last 3 years. I don't know many doctors that work for free...

That only works if you actual reimburse yourself instead of letting that chedda stack.

Fun fact - the 3 year look back maxes at 20 entries. If you follow it to the letter of the law (dentist, dr visit, optometrist, EVERYTHING) there aren’t enough entries available for a full 3 year history. Thanks, Obama.

I’m pretty sure it explicitly says that regular dental visits do not count. And possibly routine optometrist visits. Also you’re allowed to consolidate for example the year I had multiple dental/endodontist visits for a crown

Really? Where does it say that?

I believe this same verbiage is accessible via a clickable question mark or something in medxpress when you’re filling it out

Interesting. Definitely never looked at the AME guide. I guess I took the instruction at face value. Thanks; you just made my life easier.
