D.M.D, OD [all other post nominal lettered doctor’s notes may be submitted for approval by the

(j) above, the document must:

  1. Have a clearly printed name of the employee or dependent that was seen.

Have a clear date of visit.

Have a clear return to work date.

Be signed by the physician, the physician's designee (electronic signature or an official

stamp is acceptable).

Have a clearly printed name of the clinic, office or physician's name.

Have a clearly printed address and phone number of the location where the employee

was seen (which may be the physical ER or contact information for the tele-health and/or

virtual appointment).

Be submitted within the first sixty (60) minutes of the shift from which the employee is

returning from medical leave.

Be submitted in paper or by e-mail to an appropriate company representative and will not

be accepted via fax or any other means.”

-----

all of the required information is there, the reason they gave for the rejection is not having a signature dispite having on the paper, said signature saying (Doctor's name, PA-C) it clearly states digital signatures WILL be accepted. What can I do in this situation? My union is grieving the rejection but that has had a terrible success rate within the company.
