What are medical checks?
If an employee is unfit for work, you can contact a control physician. They will then investigate, in a respectful manner, whether the employee really is unfit for work. If so, the length of the absence will be estimated. This allows you, as an employer, to make better decisions and keep absenteeism under control within your organisation. Moreover, medical examinations of this kind act as a deterrent for employees.
Checks per year arranged through Certimed
Thanks to our network of control physicians, we perform 170,000 examinations every year.

Requesting a medical check
Two options: either you initiate a check yourself as the employer, or you have the checks managed by our partner Certimed.
Scheduling the medical check
As the employer, you indicate whether you want a home check or a check at a doctor’s office. We will then schedule the check at a suitable time. There are no fixed rules for this, however. You can have checks performed at any time during the entire period of incapacity for work.
The control physician draws up a report
The control physician will record all findings in the check report. In the event of a dispute, a there will be consultation between the control physician and the employee’s own doctor.
We will forward the control physician’s recommendation regarding your employee to you by midday on the first working day after the check.
