When to use this form
Use this template when an insurer, employer, or school requests a signed medical summary from a licensed clinician. It works for short-term disability claims, FMLA leave, post-op work restrictions, workers comp, or return-to-duty clearances. You capture diagnosis, objective findings, functional limits, and a timeline, so reviewers can make fast, defensible decisions. For cardiac or hypertension cases, attach readings from the Blood pressure monitoring form. For concussion, stroke, or neuropathy, reference results from the Neurological exam form. The result is a clear, standardized statement that reduces back-and-forth, protects patient privacy, and speeds approvals.
Must Ask Physician Statement Questions
- What is the primary diagnosis, onset date, and current status?
This pins the statement to a clear condition and timeline, which reviewers need to assess eligibility. It also shows whether the issue is acute, chronic, or resolved.
- What objective findings support this condition (vitals, tests, imaging)?
Concrete data boosts credibility and reduces follow-up calls. If helpful, add patient-reported trends from the Self-health assessment form to give context.
- What functional limitations and specific work or school restrictions apply?
Translating symptoms into restrictions guides accommodations and risk control. Be precise, such as no lifting over 20 lb, no night shifts, or limited screen time.
- What treatments, medications, and follow-up plan are in place?
A clear care plan shows next steps and expected response. You can organize tests and referrals using the Clinical assessment form.
- What is the prognosis and expected return-to-activity or reevaluation date?
Approvers rely on this date to set benefits, schedules, and check-ins. If uncertain, provide a timeframe window and the clinical trigger for re-review.
