Hi, I am new here and I am looking for information on submitting my LTC application. About 15 years ago I went to the hospital after a family members sudden death. When I was there the ER doctor did a section 12a on me to keep me at the hospital. I was released about 24 hours later. I have received information that a section 12a is not a disqualifier but may be used to deny me based on suitability. So my question is if the Department of mental health can only disclose the prohibitor then how would this information be received by the police chief and FRB in a background check. I was never admitted to a department of mental health facility or even a general hospital's mental health unit I only remained a ER patient. I do have my med records and there is a pink sheet in my records but the form is only signed and dated my identifying information and questions one through three are not filled out by the attending doctor. The document is completely blank other than the signature and date from the MD. So as far as question 12 goes on the LTC application how do I answer. Also if I can answer question 12 as No do I even have to disclose this information on the application. I'm just trying to figure out if its not a prohibitor how the licensing authority will obtain this information?
