FAQ
Frequently Ask Question
We understand the disability process can feel confusing. Here are answers to some of the most common questions patients ask.
California State Disability Insurance (SDI) is a wage-replacement program that may provide temporary benefits if a non-work-related medical condition prevents you from performing your regular job duties. Medical certification is required, and final eligibility decisions are made by the California Employment Development Department (EDD).
No. Online Disability Doctor provides medical evaluations based on clinical findings. We do not guarantee approval. The EDD makes the final decision regarding eligibility and benefits.
During your visit, a California-licensed clinician reviews your symptoms, work duties, and functional limitations. The goal is to understand how your condition affects your ability to work and determine appropriate next steps.
Many patients seek a second evaluation when they still have significant functional limitations. A structured telehealth assessment can help clarify your current medical status and work capacity.
Benefit timelines are determined by the EDD and can vary based on claim processing, documentation, and eligibility review. Your clinician can guide you on the medical portion of the process.
In California, SDI benefits are typically available for a limited period while you remain medically unable to perform your regular work duties, subject to EDD rules and ongoing certification requirements.
If your claim is denied, you may have appeal options through the EDD. Our role is to provide medical evaluation and documentation based on clinical findings.
Yes. Visits are conducted using secure, HIPAA-compliant technology, and your medical information is handled in accordance with privacy standards.
