The paperwork shouldn't be the hard part.

Every year, millions of people who legally qualify for job-protected leave never take it. Not because they don't need it — because their doctor's office won't touch the forms, HR feels adversarial, and the process is opaque enough that giving up feels easier than pushing through.

LeaveMD exists to close that gap. We connect you with a licensed clinician who can evaluate your situation, complete the certification your employer requires, and stand behind the paperwork when HR has questions. The law already protects you — we make the process work the way it was supposed to.

How evaluations work

1

Tell us what's going on

Complete a short intake about your health situation, your job, and the kind of time away you need. It takes about five minutes.

2

Meet with a licensed clinician

A provider licensed in your state reviews your situation in a brief telehealth visit and determines whether certification is appropriate.

3

Get your paperwork done right

If you qualify, we complete the certification forms your employer requires and help you respond if HR has follow-up questions.

What we are — and what we're not

We are

  • Licensed clinicians covering all 50 states
  • Real telehealth evaluations — a clinical visit, not a form mill
  • Paperwork that follows Department of Labor certification requirements
  • HIPAA-covered care with your medical details kept confidential

We're not

  • Not a rubber stamp — clinicians decline when certification isn't appropriate, which is why the refund exists
  • Not legal advice or legal representation
  • Not a doctor's-note mill — every certification reflects a genuine clinical judgment

LeaveMD provides general information and administrative support. Nothing on this site is legal or medical advice, and using it does not create a provider–patient or attorney–client relationship. Eligibility for FMLA and state leave programs depends on your specific circumstances.
