The Medical Confirmation Letter is a crucial document in the Swiss healthcare system, used to formally communicate medical information about a patient to authorized parties. This document type is commonly required in various situations such as insurance claims, employment-related health matters, school or university attendance, legal proceedings, or travel requirements. The letter must adhere to strict Swiss federal and cantonal regulations regarding medical documentation, data protection, and patient privacy. It requires careful consideration of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), particularly concerning sensitive health data, and must comply with professional medical standards as outlined in the Federal Act on Medical Professions (MedBG). The document serves as an official medical record and may be used both within Switzerland and internationally, often requiring specific formatting and content to ensure its validity across different jurisdictions.
