Yes and yes. His sleep doctor is a pulmonologist
-
The medical examiners won't accept a report that shows how often he has been in compliance by itself. It has to be a fax from the pulmonologist.
-
With mine they just print it out and give it to me, but it's signed by the doctor. It should only take 30 seconds to send a fax. Have your friend explain the urgency of it being read and faxed.expedite_it Thanks this.

Find a place that only deals with sleep disorders. Then they have no excuse not to send it.expedite_it Thanks this.

I suppose he will if the pulmonologist won't do itCrappieJunkie Thanks this.

I don't know the legalities, but the doctoray have to do it by law. If you feel inclined call the state DOT and ask or call OOIDA and see if they have an attorney to talk to, but I'm not sure the pulmonologist can refuse.expedite_it Thanks this.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. That's very re-assurringCrappieJunkie Thanks this.

Don't quote me on it. I'm not a lawyer but they have to get certified by the state to conduct physicals.expedite_it Thanks this.

Ever who is the sleep doctor is they have time to print out sleep report. You can’t wait till last minute to do it. The DME can print out a report also. If you have cpap with internet connection you can get report from the app and email or print it out yourself.
MIT and expedite_it Thank this.
