What information should be included in a letter requesting medical documentation from an employee?
Always include a straightforward explanation of why the information is needed at this time. Identify who will review the medical information. Provide information for the physician that explains the problem, the key aspects of the job, and what you need to know to make a determination about the employment status of his/her patient. Avoid confusing language. Be direct about what you need to know.
