Dear Clinician: Your patient is planning on participating in a vigorous outdoor winter sporting event that takes place at high altitude. Examples of
high-risk patients are: a quadriplegic smoker who is overweight; brittle diabetics; patients with significant COPD or CHF; and patients that require
close medical supervision. Patients are admitted to this clinic based on your judgements about their current health status.
PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE ANY PATIENT THAT HAS RISK OF DEVELOPING MEDICAL COMPLICATIONS BY PERFORMING
STRENUOUS EXERCISE AT ALTITUDES >10,000 FEET OR HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REQUIRE HOSPITATILIZATION DUE TO A
PRE-EXISTING CONDITION. IF THEY REQUIRE HOSPITALIZATION FOR A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION, YOUR MEDICAL
CENTER WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CHARGES INCURRED OUTSIDE OF VA CARE. DO NOT SEND ANY PATIENT THAT IS
CURRENTLY UNSTABLE OR UNDERGOING CARIOPULMONARY EVALUATION FOR CLINICAL INSTABILITY.
If the patient's condition changes before the event, please contact Dr. John Hunter at the Grand Junction VAMC, (970) 242-0731-page
through operator or contact Department of Medicine, ext. 4247, e-mail John.Hunter@va.gov.
