INSTRUCTIONS to the HEALTH CARE PROVIDER: Your patient has requested leave under the FMLA. Answer
fully and completely, all applicable parts. 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 employee is seeking leave, please be sure to sign the form on the last page.
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 the manifestation of disease or disorder in family members of the individual, 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
