Understanding what a real doctors note includes helps you know what to expect and whether a note you received is legitimate. A valid physician's note contains specific elements that make it verifiable — and SwiftCareMD notes include all of them.
A legitimate physician's note is a formal document on practice letterhead (or an equivalent digital format) that contains the following elements:
A legitimate doctors note does not need to — and often should not — include your specific diagnosis. HIPAA protects your medical information.
Your employer is entitled to know that you were evaluated and that rest was recommended, not the specific medical details of your condition. This is why most SwiftCareMD notes confirm the physician evaluation and recommended leave period without specifying a diagnosis.
Every note issued by SwiftCareMD includes the physician's full name, credentials, license number, NPI, practice contact information, date of evaluation, and a certified signature. All of this information is real and verifiable.
