PROPER WAY TO USE THE MEDICAL CARD

[kkmalaysia]

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY!!!


In cases of Emergency, a matter of LIFE & DEATH (eg Heart-attack,
Strokes, Accidents) NEVER.. NEVER.. NEVER use a medical card! Why?....


1.       In the emergency room, you will be asked to register and make a
'Deposit' BEFORE the patient is TREATED!


2.       When you show the medical card....the doctor MUST complete the
claim form and fax to the insurance company BEFORE they can treat the patient.
The hospital MUST wait until the insurance company Confirms coverage &
limit of policy.


3.       ALL these procedures may take 1-2 HOURS!! By this time the
patient may have lapsed into a coma!!


4.       Use your credit card or Cash FIRST. AFTER the patient has been
treated & attended by the doctor, then show the admission counter nurse
the medical card. She will then liaise with the insurance company
directly for the approvals. She will tear the earlier credit card
deposit  once  the insurance company has approved.


5.       By now the patient would have been wheeled into the room to
rest or to the surgery room for immediate surgery.


Sincerely we pray no one has to go through such an ordeal. Share this
info with your loved ones, your colleague & friends.
