What Is a Medical History Form?
A medical history form is something that doctors help patients fill out or ask them to fill out, often as part of being a new patient. Forms like these can be used in other contexts, including by insurance companies to judge the insurability of people for either life or medical insurance. In this context, they are usually not very helpful to people who want insurance, since information gathered may be used to raise prices or deny coverage. As originally intended, they are of use to people because they give doctors valuable information about patient history, risk factors, and care requirements.
