• Print clearly with dark black ink.
• Do not write outside of the lines or add extra information.
• Other forms of documentation can be uploaded as supporting documentation.
• Do not fold, cut, or mark on the border lines of the form.
• Review your form for completeness and accuracy. Double check all signatures. 
• Use MM/DD/YY date formats.
• Forms can be uploaded by scanning or JPEG images. An easy upload tip: Lay your document on a flat surface and take a picture with your cell phone. Then all you have to do is to upload that picture!

• If you already have records on file at UHS, they are not automatically uploaded to Med+Proctor. You must download your form and make an appointment with a UHS provider to get your form filled out.
