- Pre-hospitalisation and post-hospitalisation treatment are not covered for treatment given before or after inpatient psychiatric treatment, accident inpatient dental treatment or emergency overseas treatment. We do not cover pre-hospitalisation and post-hospitalisation treatment if, under the policy, we do not pay for the inpatient hospital treatment received during the stay in the hospital. Post-hospitalisation treatment, such as medication bought during a period of post-hospitalisation treatment but not used during that period, is not covered.
If the inpatient hospital treatment is provided by our panel and paid for under the Enhanced IncomeShield Preferred plan, we will cover the cost of medical treatment the insured received in the policy year for up to 180 days before the date they went into the hospital and up to 365 days after the date they left the hospital.
Please refer to the policy conditions for further details. - Panel or preferred partner means a registered medical practitioner, specialist, hospital or medical institution approved by us. The list of approved panels and preferred partners, which we may update from time to time, can be found on this page. Our list of approved panels also includes all restructured hospitals, community hospitals and voluntary welfare organisations (VWO) dialysis centres.
- Extended panel means a registered medical practitioner or specialist approved by us to provide cover for the benefits under this rider. The registered medical practitioner or specialist must not also be on our lists of approved panels or preferred partners and must meet other criteria, including being on another Integrated Shield Plan provider’s panel list. The list of our approved extended panel can be found on this page. We may update this list from time to time.
- Endorsement refers to a clause under which we may change the cover we provide. The endorsement which applies to your policy is shown in the schedule or the certificate of insurance.
