FMLA approval depends on a few key factors:
1. Employment eligibility
You must have worked for your employer long enough and be working for an employer that is covered under FMLA. Employers with more than 50 employees are covered under FMLA.
2. A qualifying medical condition
Your leave must be for a condition that qualifies under FMLA. A licensed healthcare provider must evaluate your situation and certify that you meet one of these qualifying conditions.
If both of these criteria are met, your employer is required to grant FMLA leave. The employer’s role is to review the certification for completeness and administer the leave, not to change the requirements.
FMLA leave can be used for:
- Birth and care of a newborn child.
- Adoption or foster care placement of a child.
- Care for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition.
- The employee’s own serious health condition that prevents them from attending work.
Yes. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions qualify if they meet the "serious health condition" criteria—meaning you need continuing treatment from a healthcare provider. This includes conditions requiring medication, regular therapy, or that prevent you from working for 3+ days.
Take our pre-qualification quiz to see if your mental health condition qualifies for FMLA.If you’re requesting an FMLA certification with a start date further in the past, we’ll need existing medical documentation that shows you were evaluated or treated during that earlier period. This is required to ensure the certification is accurate and compliant.
We complete FMLA forms within 48 hours of your consultation with the doctor.
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to qualify for FMLA. The doctor will focus on understanding what you’re going through and whether your situation qualifies for protected leave. While they don’t diagnose or treat, they can help certify your leave and guide you toward appropriate next steps so you can take time off and focus on feeling better.
We offer the following services:

- Continuous FMLA Certification

Attend your video consultation: During the 15-minute video visit, the doctor will discuss your condition, and treatment options if needed. They will also inform you on the call whether you qualify for FMLA or if there are any steps you need to take in order to qualify.
Receive your paperwork: Your completed certification paperwork will be provided to you within 48 hours of the video visit.

We have follow up appointments available if you need to extend your FMLA leave.

Up to 12 weeks in a 12-month period for most qualifying reasons. Military caregivers can take up to 26 weeks. You can take it all at once, or intermittently (a few days/hours at a time) for chronic conditions. The 12 weeks resets based on your employer's chosen method (calendar year, your anniversary, etc.).
There is an initial $50 booking fee to secure your appointment. The remaining balance will be charged after your video consultation.
No, our services are self-pay only. We do not bill insurance providers, and all payments are made out of pocket. We strive to keep our prices transparent and affordable.
No, FMLA itself is unpaid. However, you can use accrued PTO, sick leave, or vacation days during FMLA. Some states (California, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Washington) have separate paid family leave programs. You might also qualify for short-term disability benefits through your employer. Trust Medical does not work with disability, but can help with any federal or state level FMLA requests.
