Please complete Section II before giving this form to your medical provider. The FMLA permits an employer to
require that you submit a timely, complete, and sufficient medical certification to support a request for FMLA leave
due to your own serious health condition. If requested by your employer, your response is required to obtain or retain
the benefit of FMLA protections. Failure to provide a complete and sufficient medical certification may result in a
denial of your FMLA request. Your employer must give you at least fifteen (15) calendar days to return this form.

Section III: For completion by the Health Care Provider.
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 page 4.
