What type of files are acceptable?

PAK and ZIP Files are the only surgical files that can be uploaded when planning a case, but you do have the option of including JPG, JPEG, PDF, and PNG files as well.

Can I upload multiple files at once?

Yes, you are able to upload two separate surgical files in one form submission, with the addition of up to six image files. Only one surgical file is required to submit a form requesting a surgical file; images are all optional.

How do I know that my file has been reviewed?

If you have your notifications turned on you will receive an email notifying you of when an FHC administrator has reviewed your file. You can also check the case itself to see if your files have been reviewed. If so, a list item stating the PAK or ZIP file you have uploaded has been reviewed.

How do I review my platform plan from FHC?

If there is a file for you to review and you have notifications turned on you will receive an email notifying you that there is a file for review. You can also check the case itself to see if a file is awaiting your review. If so, a list item stating that a file is waiting on your review or changes will be showing in the case and a form button asking for either your approval or a new file will be displayed in the sidebar (or at the bottom of the page on mobile devices).

Why have my menu options changed for a case?

Menu options in the sidebar (or at the bottom of the page on mobile devices) will change based on the activity on each case. What form buttons you see will depend on the activity of the case so far. For example, if there is a file pending review for a case, the menu options will now be asking for you to either approve a file or upload a different one.

Once I have uploaded my files, when can I expect to hear from an FHC Engineer?

Within two business days of submission. If your notifications are turned on you will receive an email notifying you of important updates to the case.

What happens if the date for the case changes?

You have the option up until the shipping phase to either postpone, reschedule, or cancel a case. If you choose one of these options at anytime during a case an FHC administrator will be notified immediately of the case change. You can also request an FHC administrator to preform these actions for you in the contact us form on the site. All actions that take place on the case will be displayed in the case itself, which you can see at any time.

How long are cases active before being archived?

Cases are active until you or an FHC administrator archives a case after the platform has been marked as received or the case is cancelled. Files within a case that has been archived may not be accessible after 30 days of being archived. To see a list of archived cases, log into the site and click on the link in your account sidebar (or at the bottom of the page on mobile devices) on the homepage that says “View Archived Cases”
