Can you ("you" being any healthtap doctor) issue doctors notices for a sick person excusing them from missed work time?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dr. exam, then note: A doctor can write a note after doing an in-person exam. Generally, doctors do not write notes (such as work-excuse or school-excuse notes, or back-to-work or back-to-school notes) without an exam. That is because a doctor's note is his written, signed, professional opinion, on whether a patient should or can do a particular activity. An in-person exam gives confidence to the doctor's opinion.

It would never work: These notices become legal documents that must stand up to court scrutiny. Any doc who would issue one without a direct patient relationship, retrievable records, exam & vital signs could lose or have their license restricted by the state medical board. If you need such a document contact your doc or go to a clinic.
