Notice of illness

At Dr. Dropin, our medical professionals are able to issue sick notes, both short-term and long-term, following a thorough physical examination. In cases where a doctor at Dr.Dropin needs to report sick for an extended period, it necessitates establishing a relationship and maintaining close monitoring by our doctors.

A sick leave is evaluated by a doctor, manual therapist, or chiropractor when there are medical reasons that prevent you from attending work. The individual responsible for issuing the sick leave must always consider whether there are significant medical grounds for your absence, both during the initial sick leave and in subsequent instances.

It is a shared responsibility among the doctor, NAV (Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration), the employer, and the person on sick leave to ensure proper follow-up on the sick leave and continuously assess possibilities for workplace adjustments or facilitating the return to work.

NB: Our doctors cannot backdate sick leave.

Requirements for a physical examination

The main rule will be that a sick note can only be issued after the patient has undergone a physical examination by the doctor. This means that patients who seek sick leave from our doctors must first receive an assessment after an examination at one of our clinics. It is not sufficient to describe symptoms over the phone, video or via e-mail. Furthermore, the sick report must relate to the patient's own illness and not illness in other family members, for example children.

If the patient can't meet in person:
If the patient does not have the opportunity to visit the clinic on the first day, they must contact the doctor via video to arrange a physical examination and assessment of the sick report. This must take place within three days of the sick leave being valid.
