Lots of great concerns! OneLink Healthcare uses qualified forensic psychologists and forensic psychiatrists to provide these reviews for you. Per the rule on FOID card restoration this evaluation needs to be by a psychologist or psychiatrist. You cannot get this done by a PCP, nor in the emergency room. They are not qualified to do this and will shy away from this. I know, because I am a PCP. The rule also mandates that we must have the mental health records for review in order to help make the appropriate determination if one is, or is not, a threat to themselves or others. These records are only reviewed by your evaluator. If these steps are followed, and you MUST be honest with our reviewers, then it should be simple. However, the determination of this must only be made by a qualified mental health professional. We have got to stop making this more difficult than it is. If someone truly made mistakes, or had difficulties that they have dealt with, and our mental health professional determines all is well, then it should be so. We can learn from our past, make the necessary midcourse corrections, and move on. If one is unwilling to do so, then be prepared. You may have to live without a FOID card. If one is willing to be honest, then spend the $750 and let the chips fall where they may. It is the best option available to date. Once the releases are signed, records received and reviewed, payment made, and the video visit done we can see where you stand in this process.
