When a medical source provides multiple medical opinions, discuss all of the medical
source’s opinions in one written analysis. Similarly, when evaluating a reconsideration
claim discuss all of a medical consultant’s (MC’s) or a psychological consultant’s
(PC’s) prior initial administrative medical findings in one written analysis.
If your electronic case processing system does not allow for combined analysis, you
may either:
-
•
Provide a separate written analysis for each medical opinion or prior administrative
medical finding, or
-
•
Provide a combined written analysis for all medical opinions or prior administrative
medical findings in one location and add text as appropriate in all other relevant
locations referring a subsequent reviewer to the location of the combined analysis.
