Can a medical condition excuse you from jury duty?
Yes. Courts across the country recognize that not everyone is well enough to serve, and nearly every jury summons includes a way to request a medical excuse or deferral. What they usually ask for is a signed letter from a licensed provider confirming that a medical condition prevents you from serving — either at all, or on the dates you were called.
How it works
Getting your excuse letter takes about two minutes to start:
-
Tell us about your summons — your court dates, your situation, and where the letter should be addressed.
-
A licensed provider reviews — a real US-licensed provider assesses your health situation online.
-
Get your letter the same day — signed, on provider letterhead, and ready to send to the court.
What the court needs in a medical excuse letter
A jury duty excuse letter is a straightforward medical document. Yours will typically include:
-
Confirmation that you were assessed by a licensed provider
-
A statement that a medical condition prevents you from serving (or serving on the summoned dates)
-
A suggested deferral period where appropriate
-
The provider's signature and verifiable contact details
Your diagnosis stays private. The court needs to know that you're medically unable to serve — not the specifics of your condition. The letter shares only what's necessary and is handled in a HIPAA-compliant way.
When people request a medical excuse
-
Recovering from surgery, an injury, or a recent illness
-
A chronic condition that makes long days at the courthouse difficult
-
Limited mobility or a condition affecting sitting, travel, or concentration
-
Pregnancy complications or a related medical restriction
-
A mental-health condition that would make serving a genuine hardship
-
Caring for a family member with a serious health condition
Submitting your letter to the court
Every court is a little different, so follow the instructions printed on your summons. Most let you mail, fax, email, or upload your excuse before your appearance date. Send it as early as you can and keep a copy for your records.
Is an online jury duty excuse legitimate?
Yes. A licensed US provider conducts a real telehealth assessment and issues your letter only when it's clinically appropriate. It's a genuine, signed, verifiable document — the same kind of letter you'd get from a clinic, without the wait. The court makes the final call on your excuse; the provider simply documents your situation honestly.
