ABOUT THE DISABILITY CONSULTATION PACKAGE
Build a strong case with objective evidence of disability
Contrary to common belief, it is actually not difficult to get disability for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). The secret is to have an educated and thorough physician on your side to collect the objective information and then contextualize it. This process takes time, experience, and a strong understanding of the nuances of ME/CFS and post-exertional malaise.

FAQs
How long does the disability evaluation take?
Evaluations typically take a few weeks from start to finish. Appointments are usually booked out only 2-3 weeks so assessments can be done without delay.
Do you Take patients from out of state?
Evaluations require that you travel to my clinic in Terre Haute, Indiana for the exam. Additional virtual appointment time for documentation is helpful but not necessary. You must be located in Indiana, Illinois or Kentucky for any virtual appointments. Otherwise, residents from other states are accepted.
How much does this service cost?
The evaluation costs $800. Payment plans are offered for those who cannot afford to pay that up front.
$150 is due at time of enrollment and is non-refundable. The remaining $650 is paid at the time of the first appointment or a payment plan is negotiated.
