Can My Provider Fill Out an Assessment or Other Paperwork?

We know paperwork and assessments can be important for many different needs. While our providers aim to support you, some documentation can’t be completed because it requires in-person care or extended evaluation that telehealth can’t provide.


What Talkspace providers cannot complete

Talkspace providers can't complete, fill out, or sign assessments, or forms that require evaluation for eligibility, disability, accommodations, or legal/administrative purposes.

This includes but is not limited to:

  • Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) paperwork
  • Leave of Absence (LOA) forms
  • Social Security Disability (SSD) evaluations
  • Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters or paperwork
  • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) evaluations
  • Custodial or forensic evaluations
  • Fitness for duty / return-to-work forms
  • Housing, accommodation, or accessibility evaluations

These requests are outside the scope of our providers. We recommend reaching out to and working with your primary care physician or any other external physician who is able to complete formal assessments and required paperwork.


What you can request instead

You can request your medical records or a treatment summary for general documentation or to share your history with another clinician, but they can’t replace formal assessment paperwork (such as FMLA, disability, or ESA letters).
