Integrated Shield & supplementary plans: What to do if you need medical attention?
Getting the best coverage from your Integrated Shield and supplementary plans
Being in good health is key to leading a quality life. However, there may be times when medical care is required due to unforeseen ailments and illnesses. We are here to help you ease through your medical needs, so that you can focus on your recovery.
Here’s what you should know about getting the best coverage from your plan:
- Integrated Shield coverage is added on top of your MediShield Life coverage.
- All Integrated Shield plans, when bundled with a supplementary plan, will require a minimum of 5% co-payment to help insurance premiums remain affordable in the long-term.
- Do read your policy documents for coverage on the treatment you seek and the ward you are entitled to.
- Get complete assurance by applying for pre-approval from us to determine that your planned medical treatment or prescribed medication is covered.
