A medical insurance verification form is a document that a medical facility will use when verifying a patient’s medical coverage. An employee of the medical facility will be required to send the form to the patient’s insurance provider so that an agent may fill in the form with the patient’s personal and insurance information. After the form has been completed by an agent and delivered back to the medical office, the medical staff will be able to determine what type of medication or care is covered by the patient’s insurance policy.
