— If sending your application by paper in any way, you are most likely to experience a hold-up in reaction time
— It might be challenging to see your physician during this time. Patients are encouraged to contact their physician about their ability to certify them electronically or by utilizing telemedicine. If your doctor can not support telemedicine or see you throughout this time, please call the OMC and we will work to support you.
