Its a good step, could have been better, I don't expect anything better in the future.
I think getting your doctor to sign off will come down to will he/she be protected by his malpractice policy. If the insurance company don't care, he won't either. If they tell him not to, then you will need to shop for someone who will or go to an AME.
Does the BasicMed replace the 3rd Class?
So riddle me this, you go to your AME and he finds something that will violate your 3rd class, will he give you the option to step down to the BasicMed? or is he obligated to report you as failing your 3rd class?
