How Frequently Are CDRs Conducted for Cancer Patients?
The frequency of CDRs depends on the expected medical improvement of the cancer patient. The SSA categorizes cases into three groups:
Medical Improvement Expected (MIE): Reviews usually occur every 6 to 18 months. Medical Improvement Possible (MIP): Reviews typically happen every 3 years. Medical Improvement Not Expected (MINE): Reviews generally take place every 5 to 7 years.
