Medical reporting

See the report your insurer receives

Every Relevium case is documented in a structured medical report — diagnosis, treatment, discharge recommendations and fit-to-fly assessment — written in English for your insurance company and your doctors back home. Here's what the format looks like (sample, no patient data):

The paperwork is part of the care

An emergency generates more than treatment — it generates documents your insurer, your pharmacy and your doctors back home depend on. Every Relevium case is backed by the full set:

Final medical report

Diagnosis, treatment and Fit-to-Fly — insurer-grade, in English. Shown above.

Pre-surgical evaluation

Risk scales and medical clearance, before any procedure.

Consultation note

History, findings and plan — every visit on the record.

Medical prescription

Structured prescriptions any pharmacy can act on.

Discharge summary

What happened and what's next, for your doctors back home.

All documents carry the Relevium format. None are published — your file is shared only with you and your insurer.
