§ 16-04 Certification.
RCNY § 16-04
(a)Certification Form. The Physician Certification Form shall state that, after a review of the SVIPP application and any accompanying documentation furnished by the applicant's personal physician, it has been determined that the applicant does or does not have a "permanent disability seriously impairing mobility". Where certification has been denied, the Form shall indicate whether that determination was based upon the fact that the medical documentation presented does not support a finding of a "permanent disability seriously impairing mobility" or because the clinical findings are inconsistent with the applicant's medical history or otherwise does not support the finding of a "permanent disability seriously impairing mobility". Except as otherwise provided in 24 RCNY § 16-05, such determination shall be final when it is adopted by the Department.
(b)Post-Certification Reevaluation. In certain cases where certification has been granted, an applicant may be required to submit, at some future time designated by the physician/provider at the time of certification, to a reevaluation/reassessment of his (her) medical condition in order to determine whether the applicant continues to have a "permanent disability seriously impairing mobility". The decision to require a reevaluation of the applicant shall not be subject to appeal pursuant to 24 RCNY § 16-05.
