Because for dealing with people's medical records, they do not pay amazingly well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2903137 Thu, 21 Nov 2019 13:47:38 +0000 graceandjoy 2903137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and I wanted to add since I just happened to get my FMLA form back from my OB. It's literally 2 pages with barely anything hard to fill out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2903078 Thu, 21 Nov 2019 09:18:35 +0000 lindseykaye 2903078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I figured that it covers the time/labor for these types of forms for people who need them vs. adding some extra cost to all patients since some will not need it. Plus over the years it seems like there are more and more forms to fill out vs. the practice being able to send a standard statement or something that the company or insurance group works with to fill out their OWN form. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2903059 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 22:23:48 +0000 Purpledaisy 2903059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine didn’t but I’ve heard other places do. Seems ridiculous to charge for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2902994 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 13:19:06 +0000 graceandjoy 2902994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mean our pediatrician group charges for school/camp forms, but I think it's reasonable because between school/camp/sports there can be SO many (they also offer a flat fee to fill out forms for the whole year). </p> <p>But with an OB, I mean, I'm sure not every pregnant woman requires forms (maybe they don't work, etc), so I really don't think it's that much to factor in having to fill out forms for each person coming in with a pregnancy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2902988 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 13:06:57 +0000 crazydoglady 2902988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they did with my second. I want to say ten bucks? Just another example of our backwards policies about maternity... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2902973 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 11:38:51 +0000 Miss Ariel 2902973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They didn’t used to but recently started to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2902961 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 10:29:59 +0000 Sams Mom 2902961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: I asked that too, and most of them seem to be large hospital practices. 😱 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2902958 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 10:27:11 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2902958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My last doctor did not.

No! But this is a big OB/GYN office with three or four admins, so it's probably relatively easy for them. Maybe a small office finds the paperwork enough of a burden that they need to charge for it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2902902 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 20:24:54 +0000 Sams Mom 2902902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: @BoyMama: that is crazy! Yeah, it's nowhere near my favorite thing to do by any means, but what the heck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2902901 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 20:14:20 +0000 BoyMama 2902901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Mine charged $20 for FMLA paperwork. Ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2902900 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 20:11:26 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2902900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor charged for all paperwork/forms including FMLA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fmla-forms#post-2902898 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 19:48:57 +0000 Sams Mom 2902898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your doctor's office charge to fill out FMLA paperwork?</p> <p>This all comes from my mind being blown in a due date group I'm in on Facebook. I fill out FMLA paperwork multiple times a week for an oncological surgeon, and we don't charge. There is dozens of women saying their doctor's offices charge $25-$40 to fill out FMLA... I can't believe they charge for this.</p> <p>ETA: FMLA forms are one of my least favorite tasks and a pain in the ass... But wow </p>
