Great Eastern Takaful i-Medi Evolusi Rider Offers Full-scale Health Protection
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 (Bernama) -- Great Eastern Takaful Berhad (GETB) has launched the i-Medi Evolusi Rider, its latest specially designed medical rider that provides coverage to support every stage of treatment, from the initial clinic visit to hospital admission and emergency care. GETB said that, under this rider, those requiring urgent treatment can receive fast consultations and treatment through initial assessments at all panel clinics under The Great Journey Clinic network. According to the company, 95 per cent of medical bills will be covered if the patient is diagnosed with any of the eight diseases covered, including Dengue Fever, Zika Virus, Chikungunya Fever, Influenza A & B, Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD), Bronchitis and Pneumonia. 'This outpatient benefit makes the plan unique, as such coverage is rarely offered in standard medical card plans, thus providing customers with peace of mind and additional support when they need it most,' it said in a statement. For hospital admissions, GETB said patients will be referred to medical facilities under The Great Journey Hospital network, with treatment costs covered according to the overall annual limit specified in the medical plan. 'The smooth process from outpatient treatment to hospital admission ensures customers receive healthcare and financial support throughout the treatment journey,' it said. In emergencies such as a heart attack, the company said customers will be taken directly to the hospital's emergency department, with all co-payment and deductible charges fully waived, allowing them to receive full coverage without any additional costs. Meanwhile, GETB chief executive officer Shahrul Azlan Shahriman said the company believed that a protection plan should be simple, transparent and empathetic, which was the primary goal of launching the i-Medi Evolusi Rider. 'We want customers to feel confident about seeking early treatment before a condition becomes more serious and requires hospitalisation,' he said.
