HOW DEDUCTIBLE WORKS? |
If you participate in Plan EMGS200 with RM25.00 deductible, how it works? |
You are required to pay RM25.00 of the eligible medical expenses incurred for each
disability / outpatient visit. Insurer will pay the balance of the eligible expenses after
deducting the first RM25.00
|
Example 1: Hospitalisation expenses |
- Assumed that the eligible hospitalisation expenses = RM8,500.00
- Deductible amount per disability = RM25.00
- Amount to be paid by you = RM25.00
- Amount to be paid by Insurer = RM8,475.00 (RM8,500.00 – RM25.00)
|
Example 2: Outpatient expenses |
- Assumed that the eligible outpatient expenses = RM100.00
- Deductible amount per outpatient visit = RM25.00
- Amount to be paid by you = RM25.00
- Amount to be paid by Insurer = RM75.00 (RM100.00 – RM25.00)

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Education institutions in Malaysia are permitted to organize directly/indirectly with insurance companies to offer Medical and Health Insurance to international students, provided such Medical Insurance meets the requirements set out by the MOHE. In this case, kindly contact the institution for details regarding the packages offered and insurance premiums applicable.
INSURANCE TOP-UP
Students are reminded that it is compulsory for them to have a valid medical insurance plan throughout the period of study. International students whose medical and health insurance cover period expires prior to the expiry of their existing student pass are required to top up/extend their insurance. This top up/extension should be sufficient to cover the period up to the expiry of their existing student pass or a maximum of 12 months from the insurance start date, whichever is lower.
