VCF与WTC健康项目有信息共享协议，所以不会得到您的医疗记录副本。WTC健康项目只向VCF提供那些用来确定您是否有合格的，经认证的疾病的信息。我们从WTC健康项目所收到的信息包括疾病的名称，在WTC健康项目里该疾病所属的类别 （例如：癌症或上呼吸道疾病），以及相关的医疗诊断代码。如果WTC健康项目通知我们您已获合资格的身体健康状况的认证，我们就把该认证书作为您的合资格的疾病的证明。

如果WTC健康项目已对您的疾病认证了，您无需提交医疗记录来支持您的合资格的疾病处于该范围最低端的非经济损失的索赔。同样，如果您的合资格的疾病，VCF认定为推定严重，令身体衰弱，您无需提供医疗记录才有资格申请法定上限所允许的非经济损失上的最高赔偿金。VCF《政策和程序》文件第2.1.a条--《非经济损失的评估》--列出了的被认为是推定严重的疾病。
