I will just say that in some Facebook threads about Universal's process, some people were posting that they had also searched for the license numbers so they could add it to their doctor letter. So, did the doctor write the letter or the person?
Most doctors are honest, but some are not. It wouldn't help with the what I would call 'rent-a-doctors' who would write up whatever the person paid them for.
There was kind of a big Medicare Fraud case many years ago that involved commercials for wheelchairs and scooters for elderly people. The commercials promised to get elderly people a 'free' mobility device paid for by Medicare. All you had to do was answer a few questions for their 'telephone doctor' and a mobility device would be sent to you 'free of charge' (actually paid for by Medicare). At the time I was a Home Care RN and one of my patients told me he was anxiously awaiting his wife's new wheelchair so they could go out easier and she could use it in the house. When it came, it was not the portable manual wheelchair they expected. It was a
scooter that they couldn't get into their house because they had several steps to get in.
They also couldn't get it in their car because it was not one that broke down for transport.
The company wouldn't take it back and they couldn't get what they actually needed from Medicare because a mobility device had already been provided by Medicare.
And, the biggest point is that Disney doesn't want to get into legal and logistical problems of obtaining and verification of medical information
I believe that the company Universal uses probably does some spot checks. With the information they are asking for, they give the illusion of verification, but don't actually verify many.
I have only seen one account of someone who was turned down for the card, but after sending something else, he was accepted. I have seen MANY angry accounts of people who were approved for the Access Card, but totally turned down for any accommodations by Universal.
So, the card is kind of useless
