Medical correspondence is highly structured. The correspondence is a process of sharing medical-related information. Both the receiver and the sender have a document that holds more legality than the spoken word through these means. These written or typed messages may pass essential and private information from doctor to patient, between doctors, or between facilities and insurance companies.
