No one "files for" FMLA with some agency - it is a unilateral grant from the employer. Once the employer has enough info to know whether the employee qualifies or does not qualify for FMLA, the employer MUST issue a letter announcing whether it it granting or denying FMLA. EMployees need not request FMLA to get it, but must comply with employer demands for medical certification.

Employers are required to inform employees of their rights and obligations under FMLA upon request.

However, if a diagnostic test is part of a serious health condition that qualifies an employee for FMLA leave, then the time taken for the test may be protected under FMLA. Employees may use FMLA leave for medical appointments related to a serious health condition, which can include time off for necessary tests. It's important for employees to communicate with their employer about their specific circumstances.
