Can I view my medical report before it is sent to the insurance company?

Yes, you have a right to request to view your medical report before it is sent to the insurance company. Under the Access to Medical Reports Act 1988, you also have a right to:

  • amend the report if it is factually incorrect or contains information that is not relevant to your application (including the results of predictive genetic tests);
  • tell the GP not to send the report to the insurer (which may affect your application); and,
  • view the report up to 6 months after it has been sent to the insurer.
