Obviously like prescriptions are different to ensure safety and dosages and such. I mean like the notes to show that you or your child actually went to the doctor. Has anyone ever called like “hi, yeah so I just wanted to confirm my employee John saw your employer yesterday and confirm they are a real doctor”

I can’t imagine any manager actually has enough free time and enough pettiness to actually do that, am I wrong?

    Some research shows that HIPPA does allows them to confirm the authenticity of the note and the date and time of the appointment but nothing else.

      Ok, several questions… 1. Why is this some research? Shouldn’t this just be a it allows or it doesn’t allow? 2. How do they confirm it? 3. If you are the person answering the phone, why do you care? If I got a call asking if Sally visited my doctor yesterday, the answer is yes. I don’t know Sally and never met her but yup she definitely was in this office which I don’t own yesterday so she couldn’t be at your office yesterday. 4. Wait time? Why does the boss care? I have a doctor appointment tomorrow so I won’t be at work, doesn’t matter if it’s 9am, 3pm or 2:15am.
