i can too - i always let the employees know that often gps ask for
this as they they can ask for fees from the OH company in advance of
the report
then again if they have not seen the employee in a while is it worth
the hassle? why not just have an OH report following face to face
review or likewise when there has been good history to provide an
opinion with available information - i find gp reports often only
substantiate what we already know unless there is reason to progress
down this road for legal reasons or otherwise
