Evaluate Social Security Medical
Disability
Test Results
Effective advocacy
requires informed and critical evaluation of your clients’ medical tests and
their results. Were they properly performed? By the right person?
Interpreted correctly? What is the chance of a false negative result?
Here you will find normal test ranges, predictive values, relevant listings, proper technique,
and more for 470 medical tests. You will be able to critically examine
the application of test results to disability claims.
Here is the authoritative and detailed guidance from a
former SSA Chief Medical Consultant who has personally made more than 50,000
disability determinations. Dr. David Morton’s Social Security Disability
Medical Tests answers the following questions for nearly every test you
will encounter:
-
When is the test warranted?
-
Can SSA purchase it? Does it commonly do so?
-
What are the relevant social security medical listings?
-
What complications can result?
-
How should the test be performed?
-
Is the test objective, providing independently verifiable information
based upon observation? Or is it subjective, depending upon the
information elicited by the testing physician?
-
What is the probability that the test will not detect the abnormality?
-
What is the prevalence of the abnormality in the population?
-
What is the normal range of test results?
The book is written in
plain English and details more than 450 medical tests frequently encountered
in SSA disability determinations. Real-life examples and explanatory
drawings accompany many texts. Medical terms are explained as they occur in
the text. Over 700 medical abbreviations are defined. Also provided are more
than 80 normal laboratory test values and eight different treadmill stress
test protocols.
Easy-to-use headings
organize each test in the book for fast access to information.
-
Type distinguishes
between objective and subjective tests
-
Purpose provides the indications for performing the test
-
Technique helps you make sure that the test was performed properly
-
Cross-References to SSA's Blue Book Listing of Impairments save you
time--the Blue Book is included in the Appendix
-
Alternative Test Names
confuse even physicians, so their inclusion
here makes identification easy for everyone
-
Can SSA Purchase? Invasiveness, expense and unavailability limit the
tests the SSA will provide
-
Interpretation discusses the meaning of normal and abnormal results
-
Medical Terms are defined in the footnotes
The publication also
includes a full-text searchable CD-ROM at no additional cost.
