Sick note guide

Work and school sick notes online in Virginia and West Virginia

This is a documentation-only pathway — no prescription is implied. The physician reviews your reported symptoms and requested dates and issues a signed note covering up to 5 days, never starting more than 48 hours before you submit your request. It's never used for FMLA, long-term disability, workers' compensation, or legal-dispute purposes.

If you're missing work or school because of a short illness, an async review can often get you a signed note quickly. This is documentation only — no prescription is implied — and it covers up to 5 days, starting no more than 48 hours before you submit your request. It is never used for FMLA, long-term disability, workers' compensation, or legal-dispute documentation, and the physician may decline (with a refund per standard policy) if red-flag symptoms are present or the reported story doesn't add up.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

Can I get a note for FMLA, disability, workers' compensation, or a legal dispute?

No. This pathway provides a basic work/school documentation note only. FMLA, long-term disability, workers'-compensation, and legal-dispute documentation require an in-person exam and/or a purpose-specific form that QuickVisitMD does not complete.

How many days can the note cover, and how recent do my dates need to be?

Up to 5 days maximum, and the requested start date cannot be more than 48 hours before you submit your request.

Does this note come with a prescription?

No. This is a documentation-only product — no prescription is implied or issued by the note itself.

How does my employer or school verify the note?

The note includes a verification contact line — your employer or school can contact QuickVisitMD directly at admin@quickvisitmd.com to confirm it.
