New application forms now available on CDPHE website

[Nosmo33]

That's exactly what I was looking at when I clicked on Mr Salley's email to contact them. If you'd like to contact them yourselves I'll post their email addresses. I inquired because I got my renewal on 06/30 and hadn't sent in my doc's as of 07/10. Some doctors are willing to swap out the older forms for newer 1's but according to mr O'Ooherty it's not necessary as long as your doctor sig was from June 30th or earlier (if it was then you have 60 days from your rec to send them in as stated in Amendment 20).

Thank you for the clarification, navigating these new regulations is interesting to say the least!

Ok... I sent my own email to Marc Salley and also got a response from BOB O'DOHERTY <[email protected]> Here is what he told me.

You can use your existing physician certification form as long as we receive your application within 60 days of when the doctor signed.

You must use the new patient application form.

On your site it says:
"Applications completed and mailed using the old forms will be accepted only until July 9.
All applications using the old forms received after July 9, will be returned to the applicant and
must be resubmitted using the new forms."

I have old forms dated June 11 but I havn't been able to afford to send them until this week. Does this mean I will have to pay for another doctors visit to get the new forms because its July 14? Or do the forms just have to be dated before July 9? I'm on a tight budget as it is.

That IS kinda weird. I emailed again to ask about both forms, that kinda seems like you need a new registry app which IMO would still be B.S.....I'll let you guys know when I get a response.

I agree... I also sent another email trying to clear this up.

So I will still have to pay to have it re notarized? Or do I just fill out the new form and send it with the old one? If I have to get it re notarized is the conflict in dates going to be an issue? Will you be applying credits to reinstatement fees for the extra costs people are going to be acquiring? Alot of us are on a tight budget.

Havn't heard back yet.

By the time a patients paper work is returned requesting a new application form be submitted, the Phys. Cert will have expired. This is positively byzantine and is not acceptable. Patients, care givers, 'center" owners seem to be held to one legal standard, while the CDPHE is held to another (not complying w/ time frames mandated by Amendment 20) Just my opinion.

I agree.

Here is the response I got to the last email...

You have to have the new form notarized.

The date that you sign the form must be the same as the date the notary signs the form.

The state offers no credits.

I think he misunderstood my question about the dates...

[Edit] You will need a new registry form and it will need to be notarized. I'm waiting to hear back about the conflicting dates between the doctors form and the new registry form. [/Edit]

I think Bob O'Doherty is getting sick of hearing from me. hahaha

that's ok

What I meant was the date on the doctor form will be different than the new
form. Is that going to be an issue?

And we pay this guys paycheck.
