How do I get a doctor's note from PlushCare?
All PlushCare doctors are highly qualified and experienced in providing online diagnoses and treatment for telehealth patients.
To obtain a doctor's note from PlushCare, schedule an appointment with one of our online doctors. During your video or phone appointment, the doctor will assess your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. If medically necessary, they will issue a doctor's note.
Our physicians can provide various documents, such as work or school excuses, as appropriate. Please discuss your need for a work note with your PlushCare physician during your appointment for quick processing. In some instances, we can assist with more complex forms like FMLA or Disability forms, which may require additional appointments for thorough evaluation and review of medical records. Our doctors aim to provide the best care alongside long-term leave and other accommodations, which may sometimes necessitate further tests or an in-person assessment.
PlushCare is HIPAA-compliant, ensuring your privacy with secure electronic record systems to keep your personal health information safe.
*Doctor's notes and prescriptions are provided at the doctor’s discretion. Not all cases qualify for excuse notes, and some cases may require more than one visit, a treatment plan with your doctor, or guidance towards in-person care.

Our doctors prioritize helping you safely and effectively. However, not all situations qualify for a note, and sometimes multiple visits may be necessary to fully evaluate and treat the underlying condition related to the note. This is particularly true for long-term excuses, jury duty, leave, or disability. Our physicians are trained to educate you on which situations may or may not be appropriate for online doctor’s notes.

I do not have a PCP and needed a return to work note after COVID-19. I met with Dr. Krueck. What a nice, friendly doctor, and good experience with her. She contacted me a few times to see if I was doing ok.
