Absence plus treatment - A period of incapacity of more than three consecutive calendar days (including any period of incapacity or subsequent treatment relating to the some condition), that also involves: (a) Treatments two or more times, within 30 days of the first day of incapacity, unless extenuating circumstances exist, by a licensed healthcare provider, nurse, or physician's assistant under direct supervision of a healthcare provider, or by a provider of healthcare services (e.g., physical therapist) under orders of, or on referral by, a healthcare provider and with the first (or only) in- person treatment visit taking place within seven days of the first day of incapacity, or, (b) Treatment by a healthcare provider on at least one occasion which results in a regimen of continuing treatment under supervision of the healthcare provider. (I) Treatment includes examinations to determine if a serious health condition exists and evaluations of the condition. Treatment DOES NOT include routine physical, dental, or eye examinations.

A regimen of treatment DOES NOT include the taking of over -the- counter medications such as aspirin, antihistamines, or solves, or bed -rest, drinking fluids, exercise, or any other similar activities that can be initiated without a visit to a healthcare provider. 3.
