Temporary Disability Medical Discharge and Sick Leave Certificates

This function makes it possible to send, to the National Institute of the Social Security and/or Mutual Societies for Work-Related Injuries and Occupational Diseases (WRI and OD) that manage economic benefits for Temporary Disability due to Common Contingencies, WRI and OD, the medical discharge and sick leave certificates arising from both common and occupational contingencies, as well as the confirmation reports.

Sending medical documents through this System fulfils the compulsory procedure given in article 2 of Royal Decree 575/97, of 18th April, regulating certain aspects of the management and control of economic Social Security benefits for Temporary Disability.

Therefore, reports sent through RED Direct, which are validated and accepted by the INSS, save companies from having to present paper versions of documents to a CAISS or Provincial Directorate of the INSS.

For more information on how the system works, see the “Basic Guide to Using RED Direct”.
