Is it possible to get a sick pay online?

No, it is not possible to open a sick leave online, as it is issued only after a personal examination by a doctor.

However, in some cases, remote medical care is possible (for example, consultations by phone or online), but a physical examination of the patient is required to issue a sick leave certificate.

The procedure for obtaining a sick leave:

1. Visit a primary care physician (family doctor, general practitioner, pediatrician) or a subspecialist.
2. The doctor will conduct an examination and, on the basis of this, issue a medical certificate of temporary disability.
3. Based on the medical report, the doctor will create an electronic sick leave certificate (e-sick leave certificate) in the healthcare system.

Important!

• You can access the e-sick leave in the web office of the Pension Fund of Ukraine.
• If you cannot contact your family doctor, you can contact any primary care physician.
