: That's not really the right meaning of 'award' here, where it is not in any way a 'prize', but simply 'something you are given'

: "Prize" is not the word for an insurance settlement - it's not a competition and you don't "win" - wrong terminology

''future medical' is presumably just a short way of saying 'future medical expenses' — the exact reason for this is preumably made clear in your wider context; so 'medical expenses that are going to arise in the future'
