I received a call from the CPO's office several days later saying that I needed to go back to the Dr. and get a diagnosis code for my sinus infection in order to have it count as verified. I contacted Contract Admin. and they said it was like playing " whack-a-mole" with the company trying to figure out from one day to the next what was considered acceptable as to verification.
Ditto same experience here...
The antibiotic prescribed for my sinus infection "could be for anything" and "isn't specific to the illness" is what I got from the verification gatekeepers...
I didn't expect to get the level of runaround I did.
"sick call" signed by the doctor is not a good enough reason for verifying sick leave...
A medication that isn't specific to a single indication isn't sufficient to "verify" sick leave.
It's nor a rumor at all....
This is the new Delta.
