Coment Please be updated that all insurance coverage (includes existing policies) for outpatient cancer treatment has been substantially controlled by the Ministry of Health with effect from 01 April 2023, though final decision on cancer coverage still lies on insurance companies. This significant reduction in coverage affects existing cancer patients as well. Please check through your existing insurance to ensure that you are still adequately covered for future unforeseen medical expenses relating to cancer as the revised coverage (even the highest tier) frm certain insurance companies may only be fairly sufficient for outpatient cancer treatment in Govt hospital. From my understanding, essential terms relating to this revised coverage: Cancer Drug Treatment >> Relates only to oncology medication on CDL Cancer Drug Services >> Relates to supporting medication, consultation, blood tests, scans, treatment preparation & admin charges etc, Generally, covers all other outpatient cancer treatment costs with the exclusion of oncology medication. Non-CDL Treatment >> This coverage does not cover all regular cancer treatment expenses. Ie. If your recommended cancer treatment fails and you need to try for alternate cancer treatment, this category of coverage will then be applicable to you. Hence, this category of coverage is basically “NA” for most outpatient cancer treatments. Please clarify with your insurance agents on this revised coverage to ensure you are adequately insured.
