medical authorisation
Written consent allowing medical information to be requested from treating physicians.
A medical authorisation is the victim's written consent allowing the opposing party's medical advisor to request medical information from treating physicians. Without this authorisation, claim settlement cannot proceed smoothly, as medical professional confidentiality would otherwise stand in the way.
“Without a signed medical authorisation, the insurer could not request the GP's medical file.”
