Verification, you get a QHCP certificate from a medical professional with whom you have a bona fide patient relationship that contains a description of your sickness (no more "general terms") and estimated return to work date. (14.A.1, 14.A.2xx)
Release - which can be required due to release threshold OR if DHS finds the QHCP certificate inadequate - you sign a written authorization for release of your medical records to DHS. If they're not satisfied, they can pass the records on to a company designated doctor or the Senior VP of Flight Ops (14.G.1-3).
We're creating a monster in DHS, in my opinion. This TA is a bit of a hydra with a lot of big threats.
