Seeking medical treatment at hospitals
When ill, having to seek medical treatment and getting admitted into a hospital can be very worrying.
3 key things to remember before seeking medical treatment
Check your hospitalisation insurance policy
Do you have an Integrated Shield Plan (IP)? You can check via Singpass app or ask your financial advisor. Having an IP may allow you to seek medical treatment at private hospitals which may have shorter waiting times.
Check your corporate insurance policy
If you are employed, you may want to consider using your company’s insurance policy, if it is available to you. This way, you may prevent an increase in premiums for your personal policies.
Get your Pre-Authorisation Form signed
Before you can utilise your insurance policy, you need to complete and get your Pre-Authorisation Form signed. Please speak to your financial advisor for instructions.
