15. Health care providers are often asked by patients to complete forms such as FMLA requests, return to work forms, sick notes and sports eligibility forms. What is the best way to handle these requests? Health care providers should complete the forms and return them to the patient. The patient would then be responsible for delivering the form back to his/her employer or school. Giving the form back to the patient eliminates the need to obtain an authorization from the patient to disclose the information to the employer or school. If the employer or school requests that the information be sent directly to them, then a patient authorization would be necessary. Return to FAQ List
