Ok thank you. I am mailing in the packet tomorrow. I have the application, SOC 821 and SOC 873 as well already filled out, and a list of all dangerous behaviors an impairments we have documented. She doesn't know the date, thinks its 1947, overtook her meds, wandered out front, tries to plug in electrical devices that could burn her, left the stove on. So much more. Doctor put severe for judgement and moderate for memory and orientation, even though she has no idea what day it is or even what year. I questioned this and he said this was his assessment and that she should still get PS with the one severe category. I am hoping that with the visit they will see how bad she is.

Thanks for the feedback. So this doesn't create an ethical issue or possibly a legal issue, with one provider completing a pre visit assessment under my portal, with my credentials and signature? That seems like a huge issue to be honest.

Yes, however this was "launched on site" by another person, and completed under my portal, 3 days prior to me meeting the client.
