A: To check the specifics of your MED9 form in Colorado, which is related to your disability due to prior cancer, you should start by contacting the Colorado Department of Human Services or the specific agency that manages disability benefits in your area. They can provide guidance on accessing your records and the MED9 form, which is used to certify your medical condition for disability benefits.

If you have a case worker or have been in contact with a representative from the agency, reaching out to them directly can be a helpful first step. They can advise you on the procedure to request a copy of your MED9 form or review the information it contains. If you haven't been assigned a case worker or if you're unsure who to contact, the general customer service line for the Colorado Department of Human Services or the disability benefits office should be able to assist you.

Additionally, consider consulting with your healthcare provider who completed the MED9 form. They may have a copy in your medical records or be able to provide insights into what was reported regarding your condition. Healthcare providers often keep detailed records of forms and certifications they complete for patients, and they can be a valuable resource in understanding the medical information that has been documented about your disability.
