FMLA

FMLA – Visit type for addressing matters related to paperwork, etc.

The FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) is a United States federal law requiring covered employers to provide eligible employees with job-protected, unpaid leave for specified family and medical reasons. This leave allows employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year for various reasons, including caring for a newborn or newly adopted child, caring for a family member with a serious health condition, or taking leave for their own serious health condition. The FMLA also requires employers to maintain the employee’s health insurance coverage during the leave and to restore the employee to the same or equivalent job upon their return, according to the U.S. Department of Labor

FLMA Visit Type Memo

TFAM Team,

In response to the rising demand and to ensure comprehensive processing of FMLA forms, we’ve introduced a new, organized approach.

Effective immediately, we’re offering a designated visit type specifically for the completion of FMLA forms. These 40-minute specialized appointments are designed to provide sufficient time for an in-depth conversation and precise filling out of the necessary paperwork. To accommodate various preferences, we’re providing two options: an in-person “FMLA” visit and a virtual “FMLA – Telemed” visit type.

Please be aware that FMLA forms will now be completed exclusively during these scheduled appointments. We will no longer be able to fulfill requests for completing FMLA forms outside of these specific times. This adjustment ensures each request receives the focused attention it deserves, maintaining our high standards of patient care and compliance.

These new types of visits are currently available for booking by all providers. We’re confident this method will greatly improve our effectiveness in managing requests for FMLA forms.

Should you have any questions regarding these new visit types, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Your feedback and inquiries are invaluable as we continue to improve our practices and services.
