How fast can I get a doctor's note?
Usually within about an hour of your payment, once we have everything needed. If a provider needs more detail to finish, we'll email you.

Can a nurse practitioner write a doctor's note?
Yes. Nurse practitioners are state-licensed providers who evaluate patients and sign medical documentation. Within their scope of practice, nurse practitioners can also diagnose illnesses, order and interpret lab and diagnostic tests, prescribe medications, and create and manage treatment plans. A note completed and signed by a licensed provider is a real medical document that an employer or school can verify.
Founded by a nurse practitioner who cares about workers
Certicare was founded by Rebecca Martel, APRN, FNP-BC, a family nurse practitioner board certified in family health and licensed in New York State. She started Certicare out of a commitment to workers' rights and a belief that getting the medical documentation you need shouldn't be complicated.
