Form SSA-392 is used by the Social Security Administration's regional review component to facilitate the medical consultant's review of the Physical Residual Functional Capacity Form (PR). The SSA-392 records the reviewing medical consultant's assessment of the PR prepared by the adjudicating component. The medical consultant only completes an SSA-392 when the adjudicating component's PR is in the claims file. The SSA-392 is required for each PR completed. Respondents are medical consultants who review the adjudicating component's completion of the PR for quality purposes.
