Is an Online Doctor's Note Legitimate?
An online doctor's note is legitimate when a licensed healthcare provider reviews your case and determines that medical documentation is appropriate. The consultation takes place online, but the note is still based on a real medical assessment. Approval is not guaranteed because providers only issue notes when they are medically appropriate. If your request is not approved, you are covered by our money-back guarantee.
