Short-term disability forms

Assessment pathway

Treating evidence and assessment

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

• Insurer’s form
• Job duties and relevant records
• Reassessment plan

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

Important limits

• No promise of benefits.
• Employer, insurer or program funding may apply.

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.
