An attending physician’s statement (APS) is a report ordered from your family doctor, and it is a common requirement for insurance applications. Insurers may order an APS as part of standard requirements or to explore information received from your required insurance health interview or paramedical testing. The underwriting service will generally send a request to your physician and then follow up every couple of weeks. If your physician hasn’t provided the APS after several follow-ups, the insurer may request that you intervene.
