A primary objective of the MINE or MINE-equivalent review procedure is to minimize
inconvenience to the beneficiary or recipient by structuring the review in a manner
that is sensitive to the beneficiary or recipient's concerns and needs. Since these
impairments are considered irreversible, development is geared toward assuring that
the original medical documentation was thorough and fully supports the MINE or MINE-equivalent
impairment classification. Hence, we do not anticipate the need for extensive current
medical development.
