No. Your insurance company doesn't have to file an FMLA claim. You request the forms from HR and then your physician(s) complete the paperwork. Insurance has nothing to do with it. You may be confusing FMLA with long or short term disability insurance. FMLA is unpaid leave for family/medical reasons. Short or long term disability insurance would pay part of your wages for a medical leave. It is completely separate from filing for the FMLA leave which is what was denied by Amazon.

Don't feel bad, if they wanted people to use it they'd have made it easy to use.
