School & university absence letter

Assessment pathway

Virtual assessment may be suitable

Suitability is determined by the physician. A virtual encounter is not a substitute for a needed examination, access to relevant records or a designated practitioner.

What the physician may need

• School’s documentation policy
• Assessment and relevant dates
• Disclosure consent

Do not send records or health information through the public partnership form.

Important limits

• Some institutions accept self-declarations.
• No guarantee a school will accept the letter.

Coverage and fees

An individual physician-approved quote, only after coverage and payer review.

Check the provincial plan, any employer or insurer payment, program-specific rules and tax treatment. Assessment and documentation must not be double-billed or bundled to conceal insured care.
