Introducing Our Medical Attendance Statement (MAS) Service
A key step in any total and permanent disability claim is to obtain a medical attendance statement.
A medical attendance statement is necessary as it provides vital information about an individual’s diagnosis, treatment, and the current status of their condition.
However, obtaining a MAS can be challenging, with several common issues regularly occurring that slow down or bring the process to a complete standstill.
The most common obstacles individuals encounter when seeking to have a MAS form completed by a treating practitioner include the following:
- High costs
- Lack of understanding of process (for practitioner and patient)
- Refusal to complete (usually due to lack of understanding)
- Confusion and unnecessary back and forth
- Incomplete or incorrectly completed form/s
- Long wait times
- Living in under-resourced areas
- Limitations due to ill health
- Lack of a support network
Along with this, issues often arise with treating practitioners not having an in-depth understanding of the personal injury superannuation claims process, leading to a lack of clarity, delays and a great deal of back and forth.
Ideally, an individual’s treating practitioner should complete a MAS form, but considering the points above, this isn’t always achievable. Thankfully, there is the alternative option of choosing an independent medical practitioner to complete the MAS.
Still, finding an independent practitioner with the relevant experience and understanding of the injury or illness claims process can be challenging.
We understand how all these obstacles can make obtaining a MAS a complicated and tiresome process. That’s not to mention the extra stress and strain it places on individuals that may already be living with a life-changing illness or injury.
At Red Health, we’ve worked hard to provide a solution that makes obtaining a completed MAS form an uncomplicated, efficient, and affordable experience.

How does the medical attendance statement (MAS) service work?
The medical attendance statement is an easy process.
To begin the process, we assign a referral to one of the medical experts from our approved MAS Medical Panel.
Our medical expert will carefully review all the medical files relating to an individual’s case before completing the MAS form, along with a short report, if requested.
Suitable for psychological and physical assessments, the MAS service will assist an individual’s claim process for Total and Permanent Disability or Income Protection.
A MAS will generally include an independent medical opinion about an individual’s incapacity for employment, considering factors such as medications, treatments, and length of time the claimant has been unemployed.
Our medical experts can complete multiple MAS forms if an individual has more than one superannuation policy.
