I ask my primary care doctor, she was very nice about it, and the same day she fill out the form. The doctor does need to have handy the NPI number and the Board of registration in Medicine number.

I love this image, I just really love it, we all need to understand that this laws and benefits only help us to compensate the acts of life of trying to get us down. So thankful for all the people that advocate for more laws like this and educators that make awareness about the laws and the importance of it.
