Some surgical procedures may require recovery time of a few days to a week from work. Occasionally, you may wish to have some extra time off to relax and recover from your procedure. In those cases, Dr. Dagan will ensure to provide a physician letter to your employer that will maintain the confidentiality of your treatment and your privacy. Physician letters do not disclose the type of procedure you had in accordance with the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the common rule law of Privacy and Confidentiality.
So, the letter to your employer will not contain any information regarding your procedure or treatment.
