Hello. I have been having back pain for few years. I found this thread and after considering the few Doctor available, I went to check with Doctor Eugene Wong of Pantai Hospital, KL. I did a MRI scan and Dr. Eugene WOng explained that i have a Intervertebral Disc Liquid (IVD) leakage. Dr. Eugene Wong suggest that I do an Injection to stop the further leaking of the IVD Liquid.
Now my consideration and concern is:-
1) The risk of doing an Injection to the area full of nerves to the bottom part of the body. Doctor Eugene Wong say the Injection is a no risk (I believe there is definitely some risk there).
2) Dr. Eugene Wong showed me a picture (as below. red circle done by me) of my MRI Scan result via the handphone though i requested to see the actual official result of the MRI scan. He say the official report is available and will be shown to me later and persist me to do the Injection. (I got my result today and he suggest me to do the injection tomorrow. I am not comfortable that Dr. Eugene Wong did not show me the original MRI Scan result. (I'm wondering if the photo of the back bone on his handphone really belongs to me.)
3) I took this MRI Scan under Insurance coverage. Dr. Eugene Wong says that i might not e able to claim my Insurance if i just did the MRI scan but did not go ahead with the treatment
So, My question is:-
1) Does anybody have treatment experience with Dr. Eugene Wong on his and how do you fare his treatment quality? Reliable and trustable?
Thank you.

On the item 3, yes the Dr is right. If there is no treatment being done, then it is considered as for investigative purposes, thus it is not claimable.Now my consideration and concern is:-

Having said that, do take a look at your policy and if there is a Pre-hospitalization (example 30 days), any bills (in your case is the MRI) within the 30 days is claimable, provided the end result is that there is a treatment to correct the medical condition.
Thus, if need be, you may seek a second opinion with another Dr (within 30 days) if you are not comfortable with the current Dr and claim it under pre-hospitalization.
The most important thing is that there must be a procedure to correct the issue for it to warrants that it is a medically necessary procedure.
On the rest of the item, I leave it to others whom are more competent to comment.
