Psychotherapy and FMLA

Ruskanen · January 2003

Would any of you regard ongoing (once every other week) visits to a psychotherapist eligible under FMLA?

If it is because of a diagnosed illness, yes.

If the employee is eligible for FMLA and has the necessary paperwork completed by a health care provider as listed in the regulations then, yes, I think that would be something that would be covered. One of the areas listed under the "serious health condition" portion of the regs. states that conditions requiring ongoing medical treatment CAN be deemed a "serious health condition" under the law.

Just my opinion, hope this helps.
