Medical Request Letter Samples

Sample Medical Request Letters

This type of letter can request anything from a second opinion to a payment adjustment. As the name suggests, it requests information or a particular course of action from either a doctor or medical facility.

Examples include the letters that request a second opinion, dental/medical records or a patient requesting a dental clinic to adjust the payment due them.

The medical request letter can be just a few short paragraphs long or take up more than a page, depending on the information you feel it must include and the reason for writing.

If you are requesting your dental records be forwarded to another dentist, the letter can make do with a few short paragraphs. However, if your are asking a dental clinic to adjust the payment you owe them, the letter may need to be longer to make sure all points are covered and it does a good "selling" job.

The request letter must request, not demand. Besides, it always pays to keep your emotions in check and not to come across as being demanding . . . even in a letter. Include all information you think will help the doctor or medical facility take the necessary step to grant your request as soon as possible. Assume nothing.
