I finally got granted Intermittent FMLA. It took almost 2 years of fighting back and forth with human resources to finally get granted. Everytime I turned in paperwork they would come up with more questions to ask. My problem is.... When you originally get the paperwork; they need to also give you the additional questions that they want answered. Not just the goverment standard forms. They don't realize that everytime they go back and forth with paperwork. It costs you money. The doctor's office charges. I think the whole theory behind it is..... That the more and more questions they ask; you will give up.
So those of you out there that are fighting to get it; keep pressing on and don't let them make you soo fustrated that you give up!!! It is your legal right to have this.
Wow Im sorry you had such a hard time with this, but congratulations on finally getting it. I had to get my Intermittent FMLA this past April and I was very lucky that my POE didnt give me too much of a hard time.

I put in a request but never got a response from HR. This was almost a year ago. To make matters worse, they expect you to re-apply for it every 3 or 6 months- I forgot exactly how long it is approved for (if approved). I find it creepy that the doctor's office charges a fee to fill out the form, why can't they submit the cost to insurance and charge a co-pay (office visit)? I am in the same predicament of overusing sick time and vacation while sick time (unplanned vacation time). What can be done besides hope that healthcare reform addresses some of these issues!
