    How big of an issue is it if the FAA requests medical records that don't exist?

    Yeah, hypertension (updated my original post). My bad. And yeah, I just started treatment. It should only be one medication, so shouldn't be a problem, just have to get the dosage right and get the paperwork in order. I'd been right on the line for hypertension for a while and the pandemic...

    Thanks, yeah, I was able to get in contact with aeromedical division and they said that while they would have liked to have had the files, since they don't exist, I can just send a letter saying they don't exist anymore in place of them along with my other documentation for the HTN (newly...

    How big of an issue is it if the FAA requests medical records that don't exist?

    FYI, I managed to get ahold of aeromedical division today. They said that it's fine to just send in a note that the records are not available. They'd prefer a note from the hospital or my doctor, but even just a note from me should be sufficient.

    How big of an issue is it if the FAA requests medical records that don't exist?

    It does not have a life long diagnosis and I did list it as part of my medical history. It was a hypospadius repair and has been fully repaired since I was in 1st grade or so.

    How big of an issue is it if the FAA requests medical records that don't exist?

    I'm working on trying to get my 3rd class medical and the FAA requested medical records for an outpatient operation I had performed as a young child over 30 years ago. As near as I can tell, the records they are requesting do not exist. How significant of a problem is this and what should my...
