SECTION II: For Completion by the HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
INSTRUCTIONS to the HEALTHCARE PROVIDER: The employee listed above has requested leave under the FMLA to care for your patient. Answer,
fully, and completely, all applicable parts below. Several questions seek a response as to the frequency or duration of a condition, treatment, etc.
Your answer should be your best estimate based upon your medical knowledge, experience, and examination of the patient. Be as specific as
you can; terms such as "lifetime," "unknown," or indeterminate" may not be sufficient to determine FMLA coverage. Limit your responses to
the condition for which the patient needs leave. Page 2 provides for additional information, should you need it. Please be sure to sign the form
on the last page.
NOTE TO ALL HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS: The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) prohibits employers and other
entities covered by GINA Title II from requesting or requiring genetic information of an individual or family member of the individual, except
as specifically allowed by this law. To comply with this law, we are asking that you not provide any genetic information when responding to
this request for medical information. ‘Genetic Information’ as defined by GINA, includes an individual’s family medical history, the results of an
individual’s or family member’s genetic tests, the fact that an individual or an individual’s family member sought or received genetic services,
and genetic information of a fetus carried by an individual or an individual’s family member or an embryo lawfully held by an individual or family
member receiving assistive reproductive services.
