Insurance Medicals
At Asquith Doctors, experienced general practitioners (GPs) perform comprehensive insurance medical assessments for patients across Asquith and the Upper North Shore.
These assessments are often required by insurers, superannuation funds, or employers to confirm an individual’s health status when applying for or renewing policies, processing claims, or commencing certain types of work.
Each evaluation is completed in a professional and confidential setting, with all information handled securely and reported only to the authorised organisation.
What Is an Insurance Medical Assessment?
Subheading here
An insurance medical is a structured health evaluation conducted by a GP to satisfy the requirements of an insurer, financial institution, or employer. It typically includes a review of medical history, a physical examination, and completion of standardised forms supplied by the requesting organisation.
The assessment confirms overall health, identifies existing conditions, and assists insurers in determining eligibility or risk for coverage.
Common reasons to see a GP in Asquith for an insurance medical include:
- Completing documentation for life or income-protection insurance
- Undergoing a pre-employment or occupational-health assessment
- Providing updated medical information for policy renewals or claims
- Confirming medical fitness for specific roles or industries
- Meeting insurer or employer requirements before cover approval
Having the assessment performed by a local Asquith GP ensures clear, timely reporting and compliance with all relevant privacy and documentation standards.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Before the consultation, patients should bring all insurer-supplied paperwork, photo identification, and a list of current medications or specialists.
During the appointment, the GP will:
- Review the forms provided by the insurer to determine what information and tests are required
- Take a detailed medical and family history
- Record height, weight, blood pressure, vision and hearing results
- Conduct a cardiovascular and general physical examination
- Arrange blood or urine tests if required by the insurer
Some insurance providers may also request additional investigations, such as ECGs or imaging. After the assessment, the GP completes the medical report and securely submits it to the requesting organisation. Patients may request a personal copy of their results once finalised.
This process is efficient, confidential, and aligned with professional medical and privacy standards.
