Frequently Asked Questions
Is a physician note the same as a doctor's note in Alberta?
Yes. 'Physician note,' 'doctor's note,' 'sick note,' and 'medical certificate' all refer to the same document — official medical documentation confirming your absence was medically warranted. Alberta Employment Standards does not distinguish between these terms.
Does my Alberta employer have to accept a physician note from MedLetter?
Yes. MedLetter physician notes are issued by CPSA-registered doctors and meet all Alberta Employment Standards requirements. Employers cannot reject documentation solely because it was issued through a virtual assessment.
What information is on a physician note from MedLetter?
Your physician note includes: official letterhead, your name, date of assessment, confirmation of physician review, recommended absence dates, expected return date, physician's name, CPSA registration number, and signature.
How quickly can I get a physician note in Alberta?
MedLetter delivers physician notes same day. Complete a 5-minute questionnaire, and a CPSA-registered physician reviews your request. Most notes are delivered within 2-4 hours.
Do I need a video call for a physician note?
Not necessarily. Many straightforward requests can be reviewed based on your written submission. The physician will contact you for an audio or video assessment only if clinically necessary.
