Physician Certification Pattern Review, 2024 Annual Report 7 In September 2020, the Panel requested information on the top five medical conditions qualified physicians recorded most often in the MMUR under qualifying condition (k). In November 2020, the Panel asked for more detail on the medical conditions of patients certified under qualifying condition (f) PTSD. Data for Tables 5, 6 and 7 are physician entries to the MMUR under qualifying condition (k). These data were collected separately from the data in previous tables and will vary slightly. For live data systems like the MMUR, each download is a snapshot in time; small differences in the data are expected. Data submitted using a paper copy of Form DH‐MQA‐5027 (rev. 02/2018) are not included. Table 5.
