Admittedly, I didn't look hard, but I didn't see anything that requires you to use their form. I'd just submit what you have, as well as the bill of $100 to get reimbursed. Also remember that if you're still out, that sickness is verified, no matter how long it takes you to recover.

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised and suspect it will get worse during negotiations. What base?
