Hi, anyone can update on the private hospitalise for covid patient? I saw my AIA agent friend update that only AIA accept private hospitalise for covid patient?
wykoh,
Touch wood if hospitalized due to COVID, do you know Gov actually allocated RM100mil fund for private hospitals to treat Covid-19?
Now Gov can cover treatment even in private hospital, therefore, no need panic of medical card coverage.
But why some people raise this discussion, because association represent private hospital worried the fund insufficient in future or some agent use it as marketing. This create unnecessary stress to rakyat.
Actually, both Prudential and AIA has certain medical card series do not have exclusion of pandemic like Covid 19.
What you can do now is get the policy book out and read carefully or ask your agent to review together.
By the way, which insurance medical card you holding now?
To have covid treatment coverage either gov fund or medical card, KKM referral/ transfer letter is compulsory to admit private hospital. Otherwise, you are on your own.
For details procedure, we still waiting for KKM portal to announce.
