What is Medical Canvassing: Canvass Investigations

What is a Medical Canvass Report? A medical canvass report is an investigative document prepared by a medical canvassing company (usually private investigators) to uncover a claimant's complete medical history and identify relevant providers and facilities where the claimant received care. The report provides the critical where and when, highlighting medical providers that adjusters need to target with medical authorization releases. The findings help insurers accurately assess claims, identify potential fraud, and uncover crucial information intentionally omitted by claimants with preexisting injuries. A medical canvass is critical in providing a 360-degree view of a claimant's medical past.
