What happens when I call?

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. The call can end with nothing booked, and often does. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.

Do I have to tell my employer?

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
