I'm trying to determine when someone should default to having the "current Clinical Progress Note" in hand at the AME.
Basically the AME can’t EVER approve at his/her level unless it can be established that the original diagnosis was due to some temporary cause that is now totally resolved. If they are following the guidelines, a current clinical progress note will be required at least annually for class 2 and 3..
