How much total cost? Does insurance cover for ACL?

May I ask how much was for the whole operation please?
I would like to know as I used to play badminton and have had knee injury.

I'm not entirely sure about the cost in Pantai Hospital. Last time I did asked about quotation from Private Hospital was about 25k without MRI Scan. I ended up doing my operation in Government Hospital. They gave me 3 quotations from 3 different companies (5k, 7k, 10k). So just need to choose from these prices for the implants needed for it. I did my MRI scan already in Ireland about 200 euros. So, no need to queue for scan in Malaysia. From my first visit to my operation day was about 2 weeks only. So quite fast.

Thanks for your fast reply!
1 of my colleague who's also in active badminton, futsal and football player also had his ACL and MCL (IINM) torn.
His operation cost was near or around MYR40K++.

The 25k is only isolated acl injury. If mixed with other ligaments gonna cost more, like what your college had to pay. Huhu. Expensive injury

Yeah, seriously expensive. He had a medical card and the balance he had to fork out by himself.

Yeah one of my friend said near RM 40k .. If insurance no cover then better not go for surgery. lol

Fuhhhh. What to do.

Maybe can go government. But, my suggestion if can do all the relevant scans private better do that private. Surgery can do government. Can save waiting time for scan oso.

Will consult physio tomorrow.
Thanks for the info.

find a doctor buddy working a hospital which has a sports team, ask him to justify getting early scan (i can get MRI in 2 mo easily by just saying the patient's livelihood is dependent upon walking + patient is very keen for surgery)

Hi guys. I had my ACL completely torn and meniscus cracked a little bit in a badminton game 3 weeks ago. It happened in Hanoi Vietnam where I live and work. The doctor here said the only way to heal my ACL is via reconstructive surgery. I'm really not sure about how good is the surgeon here and I'm considering whether I should go back to Malaysia to do the surgery. I'm really not sure how the surgery will affect my job in Vietnam.
Maybe I will lose my job here if I go back to mala for the surgery? How long do I need to stay in Malaysia in order for me to complete the surgery and rehab after surgery? Or should I just do it in Vietnam? There are so many questions now in my mind

Hi All, anyone torn ACL before then manage to upgrade your own medical card insurance? Any complication during upgrade medical insurance such as exclude the knee did ACL reconstruction before?
