9. Will medical reports issued by traditional Chinese medical practitioners be accepted by an insurance company when processing claims?

There is usually a standard provision in an insurance policy that medical reports are those issued by a registered medical practitioner of western medicine.

Thus, unless the policy specifically admits medical reports issued by registered Chinese medical practitioners, such reports will not normally be accepted for the purpose of claims.

As far as the insurance industry is concerned, Chinese herbalists or doctors specialized in Chinese medicine are not commonly recognized.
