What Is The Procedure For Medical Certificate Review?
If your initial medical certificate indicates that your health care provided has not determined a return to work date, the Office of Human Resources will inform you in writing that you must provide an updated medical certificate by a date determined by the Office of Employee Health. The Office of Employee Health may contact your health care provider to discuss your disability if the return to work date is not indicated on subsequent medical certificates, or if there are questions regarding your medical condition and the indicated return to work date. The Office of Employee Health may discuss your physical job requirements with your health care provider to determine if short-term or permanent workplace restrictions will be beneficial and enable you to return to work. Your health care provider must provide all information requested, including questions pertaining to light duty and which parts of the job cannot be performed. Incomplete forms may result in suspension of disability benefits
