What the Medical Insurance Benefits or Does for the Insured Person
Medical insurance is a lifeline for many people. Although Malaysia is a blessed country with Government Hospitals and Clinics with very low cost of treatment, there is the long wait times for consultation, treatment and surgery.
Access into Private Hospitals
Unless you are willing to wait in pain, for the time for a bed and time slots for surgery or intervention to be available for you, at a government hospital, you are better off for the fast treatment and recovery options from the private hospitals in Malaysia.
With the high medical treatment and consultation costs at private hospitals, medical insurance is the emergency medical fund everybody uses. And they need it from the moment they are born.
Fast Hospital Admissions
You just walk into a hospital, go to the patient registration counter, and give them your Malaysian identity card number (IC) and tell them AIA medical insurance. The counter staff will check with the high tech AIA systems and confirm your coverage entitlements.
Deposit Free Platinum Hospital Admissions
AIA Platinum hospitals (Just call in to any of the panel hospitals and ask if they are an AIA platinum hospital.) will waive any deposits for admission. You are admitted just on the strength of the AIA letter of guarantee (LOG) issued by the AIA high tech systems to the hospital admission counter staff.
Minimum Deposit Hospital Admissions
For non-AIA Platinum hospitals, they might request a minimal deposit amount. It differs from hospital to hospital, but best you plan by calling and asking first. These hospitals will admit you based on the AIA LOG from the AIA systems, but they still have their own processes to follow.
