What are medical notes or medical reports?

A medical note is a document produced by your physician that explains to the insurance company what happened during the medical treatment. It may be a hand-written note by your doctor or an electronic medical record. It should have the following information:

1. Date of the visit
2. Description of the symptoms
3. Beginning of the symptoms
4. Diagnosis
5. Proposed treatment/procedure
6. Signature by the attending physician

 In order for your claim to be processed, you should always get such a document when you seek medical assistance.
