One of the most important things you can do before your visit is gather the medical records and documents that support your claim.

What Should You Bring to Your Appointment?

1. A List of Your Service-Connected Conditions

Please bring a current list of any conditions the VA has already recognized as service-connected, along with your disability ratings if available. This helps us understand your existing disability history, especially when evaluating conditions that may be secondary to an already service-connected disability. You can find this on your VA portal or your VSO can provide this to you.

2. Documents Provided by Your Veterans Service Officer (VSO)

If you've recently met with your VSO, bring any paperwork, recommendations, or documents they provided related to your claim. Your VSO may have identified specific conditions that need additional medical evidence, a Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ), or a medical nexus opinion.

Having this information helps us understand what you're working toward and what documentation may be needed.

3. Previous Imaging and Diagnostic Reports

If you've had X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, nerve conduction studies, or other diagnostic testing related to the condition we're evaluating, please bring copies of those reports.

These records can provide valuable medical evidence to support our evaluation.

4. Service Treatment Records

If you have military medical records documenting injuries, illnesses, symptoms, or treatment during your service, please bring any that relate to the condition being evaluated.

These records can be especially helpful when assessing whether a current medical condition may be connected to your military service.

5. Relevant Medical Records

Bring any medical records from the VA, civilian physicians, specialists, hospitals, or other healthcare providers that directly relate to your claim.

You don't necessarily need to bring your entire medical history. Focus on records that help tell the story of the condition we're evaluating, including previous diagnoses, treatment, testing, and ongoing symptoms.

Something Many Veterans Don't Realize: We Cannot Access Your VA Medical Records

This is one of the most important things we want Veterans to understand before their appointment.

Unlike your VSO, our medical practice does not have direct access to your VA medical records or disability claims file.

Even if you've received all your treatment through the VA, those records are not automatically available to us.

This means we rely on the medical records and supporting documentation you provide to help us complete a thorough evaluation.

The more relevant information we have, the better we can understand your medical history and provide a well-supported medical opinion when appropriate.

Our Goal Is to Make Your Visit as Productive as Possible

We know the VA disability process can feel overwhelming, and gathering records may seem like one more task on an already long list.

Taking a little time to prepare before your appointment can make a meaningful difference.

At Lyndsay Health, our role is to provide an independent medical evaluation, complete applicable DBQs, and offer medical nexus opinions when supported by the clinical findings and available evidence.

We take that responsibility seriously, and we want every Veteran who walks through our doors to feel heard, respected, and prepared.

Thank you for your service. We look forward to working with you.

The Lyndsay Health Team

At Lyndsay Health, your membership includes much more than access to your primary care team. One of our favorite benefits is Manifest Rx, a prescription medication program that can save our members hundreds of dollars each year.

And the best part? This benefit is already included in your membership!

What Is Manifest Rx?

Manifest Rx is a prescription medication service that gives Lyndsay Health members access to a formulary of more than 1,000 generic medications at no additional cost.

That's right. Many of the medications you take regularly may already be covered through your membership.

Whether you're managing blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid conditions, or other common health concerns, there may be a generic medication available through the program.

Eligible medications can be delivered directly to your home, making it easier to stay on track with your treatment without making another trip to the pharmacy.

How Does It Work?

It's simple!

When we prescribe a medication that is included in the Manifest Rx formulary, we can send your prescription to the program for fulfillment.

Your eligible medications are then shipped directly to your home, with no additional medication or delivery cost to you.

There's no need to stand in line at the pharmacy, and no surprise copay for medications covered by the program.

Your Member Portal, Powered by Revive

Members also have access to an online portal powered by Revive.

Through this portal, you can conveniently:

• Request refills of your eligible medications.
• Manage your prescription needs.
• Access your Urgent Medication Card for certain prescriptions that need to be filled locally.

We encourage our members to become familiar with their portal so they can take full advantage of this valuable benefit.

What About Medications You Need Right Away?

Sometimes you simply can't wait for a medication to arrive in the mail.

That's where the Urgent Medication Card comes in!

Through your Revive member portal, you can access a card that allows certain eligible urgent medications to be filled at participating local pharmacies at no additional cost.

This can be especially helpful when you need treatment for an unexpected illness or another condition that requires medication right away.

Not every medication is eligible, so be sure to check the program's covered medication list.

Your Specialists Can Prescribe Through Manifest Rx, Too!

Here's another benefit many members may not realize.

Manifest Rx isn't limited to prescriptions written by Lyndsay Health.

If you're seeing a cardiologist, endocrinologist, dermatologist, or another specialist, that provider can also send eligible prescriptions directly to Manifest Rx.

This means you can potentially save money on medications prescribed by providers outside our office as well!

Simply let your specialist know that you have access to Manifest Rx through your Lyndsay Health membership and provide them with the appropriate electronic prescribing information.

Small Savings Can Really Add Up!

Prescription medication costs can become a significant expense, especially for individuals and families managing multiple chronic conditions.

Imagine eliminating the monthly cost of several generic prescriptions, while also having those medications delivered to your home.

That's money that stays in your pocket!

We believe affordable healthcare should include affordable medications, and Manifest Rx is one more way we're working to make that happen.

Need Help With Your Portal or Prescription Refills?

If you're having trouble accessing your member portal, requesting a refill, or understanding how the program works, there are resources available to help.

Our Lyndsay Health team is also happy to help you understand how to take advantage of the benefits included in your membership.

Make the Most of Your Membership!

If you haven't explored Manifest Rx yet, we encourage you to take a few minutes to see what's available.

Review your current medications, familiarize yourself with the member portal, and remember to share this benefit with any specialists who prescribe medications for you.

Your Lyndsay Health membership is designed to give you more access, more convenience, and more value.

Manifest Rx is just one more way we're making healthcare work better for you.
