A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask the covering Dr.: Only a doctor who knows a patient well should write that. Typically, doctors do not write notes such as work-excuse notes or back-to-work notes without an exam, and definitely not a disability determination. That is because the note is his written, signed, professional opinion on whether a patient can or cannot do a particular activity. An in-person exam gives confidence to a doctor's opinion.
