Send the completed form to the physician or authorized signer by email.

Complete physician review

The physician reviews medical details, completes responses, and signs electronically.

Retain the signed physician statement

Retention depends on whether the statement contains protected health information and which claim, employer, insurer, or state requirements govern the record.

Six years for PHI records

HIPAA 45 CFR §164.530(j) requires six-year retention from creation or last effective date.

Claim records during review

Retain the signed statement while the disability claim remains active and applicable policy rules require it.

Audit trail with signature

Keep the audit trail with the final PDF to preserve signer and event evidence.

Longer governing requirements

Apply longer state or plan requirements when they govern disability records.

Approved destruction date

Document the retention decision and approved destruction date for controlled disposal.

Follow TMRS40OC record practices

Careful field ownership, HIPAA safeguards, complete evidence preservation, and final review reduce avoidable errors in physician disability statements.

Separate patient and physician fields

Keep patient and physician roles separate when mapping TMRS40OC fields. Confirm that the patient’s identifying information cannot be edited by the physician unless the form instructions expressly require physician completion. Review the final field assignments before sending.

Confirm HIPAA safeguards before sending

Use a business associate agreement where HIPAA-covered processing applies. The signNow ground truth lists HIPAA compliance with a BAA required; also limit recipients, apply signer authentication, and document who may retrieve completed statements.

Preserve the complete evidence package

Export the signed PDF and audit trail together. Store both under the claim or employee record, preserve the original completion file, and document the retention decision rather than keeping an isolated signature image.

Verify completion before archival

Review every physician response before closing the workflow. Confirm dates, certification fields, signature status, and required attachments, then record the final disposition using the organization’s disability-claim procedures.

Avoid privacy and disclosure mistakes

Sending the completed TMRS40OC statement to the wrong recipient can expose diagnosis, treatment, or functional limitation information.
Leaving physician fields unassigned may produce an incomplete certification without clear responsibility for missing medical responses.
Skipping electronic-consent language can weaken evidence that the signer intended to execute the medical statement electronically.
Sharing a signed PDF without its audit trail separates the physician’s signature from supporting event and identity evidence.
