๐ฅ Malaysians, Could Your Employees Lose Access to Their Preferred Private Hospitals? ๐ฅ
๐จ The Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia (APHM) has warned that some private hospitals may soon be removed from insurer panels due to disagreements over pricing.
๐ก What This Means for Employers & HR Teams:
โก๏ธ Employees may no longer have cashless access to certain hospitals.
โก๏ธ HR teams may face concerns from staff about continuity of care.
โก๏ธ Businesses should check with insurers to confirm which hospitals are still covered.
๐ What Can Employers Do?
โ
Talk to your insurance provider to check on panel hospitals.
โ
Plan alternatives in case of delisting.
โ
Update employees so they arenโt caught off guard when seeking treatment.
Employees trust their medical benefits for peace of mind. How can businesses ensure a smooth transition if changes happen? Letโs discuss.
APHM warns patients that some of its member hospitals may be removed from insurance panels soon as they're unable to meet insurers' requests for "exorbitant discounts" on patient bills. Delisted private hospitals aren't granted a cashless facility or GLs.
