What is MI? Do you mean marijuana? I work in healthcare, MI is a heart attack in my world lol. The lawyers I called said they only do denials. I do not have any kind of substance problem, let alone a diagnosis and I've been seeing my providers for two years.
I wonder if the questionnaire I got is based on rapid cycling diagnosis since I've read it has an even higher rate of substance abuse than "regular" bipolar. Why I am worried about all this, is that I've told my providers before I have a drink now and then but I cap it at one, and it's only every few weeks. I read something else that said once they find you disabled, they then review (on mental health claims) if there is any substance use issues, and if so, it doesn't disqualify you but makes more hoops to jump through. Since I have no diagnosis, let alone ever been told by providers that they thought there was an issue, I thought it was weird, but who knows. I do know, lol, that anytime I get anything in the mail from them I panic for a few days no matter what it is lol.
