Sports Event Cancellation Medical Certificate - For Insurance Claims

Yes. Our certificates are issued by GMC-registered doctors and meet the documentation requirements of all major UK and European insurance providers including Allianz, AXA, Virgin Money, Aviva, Bupa, and specialist sports event insurers. The certificate includes all required information: the doctor's clinical assessment, your medical condition, why you cannot participate, the event details, and the doctor's GMC registration number for verification.

With a valid medical certificate, you can typically claim for: non-refundable race entry fees, pre-paid hotel and accommodation bookings, flights and train tickets to the event, pre-paid event packages, and training camps. The exact coverage depends on your specific insurance policy terms - check your policy documents or contact your insurer to confirm what is covered.

Standard service (£24.99) delivers same day if ordered before 8pm. Priority service (£49.95) puts you at the top of the queue for fastest processing - ideal if you have an urgent insurance claim deadline approaching. Once approved by our GMC-registered doctor, your certificate is sent directly to your email as a PDF ready to submit to your insurer.

No. FastDoc is designed for situations where getting a GP appointment is not possible or practical, especially when insurance claim deadlines are approaching. Our GMC-registered doctors assess your case remotely based on the information you provide - no in-person consultation needed. The certificate they issue is just as valid as one from your GP and is accepted by all UK and European insurers.

Any sporting event where you have insurance coverage and need medical evidence for cancellation. Common examples include marathons (London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, etc.), Ironman triathlons (UK and European events), cycling sportives (RideLondon, Étape du Tour, etc.), ultra-running events, international races, and multi-day sporting events. The certificate documents why you cannot safely participate and supports your insurance claim for associated costs.

Yes. Our certificates meet the stricter documentation requirements for premium European events including Paris Marathon, Berlin Marathon, Ironman triathlons, and other international races. We ensure all required medical information is included to satisfy both the insurance provider and any event-specific medical documentation requirements.

You will need: your personal details (name, date of birth, address), details of your medical condition or injury, the name and date of the sporting event you cannot attend, your insurance provider details (if applicable), and any relevant medical information about your condition. You do not need to provide previous GP letters or medical records - just a clear explanation of your situation.

Even if the race organiser (like London Marathon) allows self-service deferrals, your insurance provider will still require medical evidence to process claims for non-refundable costs like flights, hotels, and accommodation. The certificate is primarily for your insurance claim, not the race deferral itself. You need it to recover the money you've spent on travel and accommodation, not just to move your race place to next year.
