Why medico-legal reports get disputed
A medico-legal report can decide a claim, so the parties need to know the doctor signed it and that nobody has changed it since.

Questions
Are the doctor's signatures certificate-based digital signatures?
No. A signature in DekkoCORE is a signature mark applied to the PDF, with the signing recorded against the file.
How can a recipient tell whether a report was changed?
They add their copy to DekkoSecure's file validator. A match shows where it came from, and a copy that's been changed won't match.
Can we see when the insurer received the report?
Yes. A read receipt on your secure mail message shows when it was opened, and the file records each view and download.
Can each party see the others' documents?
Only what you share with them. Access is set per folder and per file.
Where are reports stored?
DekkoCORE is hosted in-country, in Australia, the United States or Canada.
