Hey guys, I've got a friend who's having quite a bit of trouble getting his LTC in North Andover, MA. Apparently, they require as part of the application process a note from your doctor stating that you have no history of mental illness. His doctor told him that he will not write him a note stating such because he has not had a physical in over four years. I fail to see how not having a physical in four years has anything to do with the fact that he has no prior mental health issues, but his doctor won't budge on the issue.
I'd like some opinions on what he should do about this. Getting a lawyer is probably the first thing I would recommend to him but I know his financial situation right now all but rules that one out so I'd like to see if anyone has any other ideas first.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
