Letter to insurance associations on fees and process of drafting medical reports for insurance claims
After receiving feedback from members, on 12 Jun 2017, SMA wrote a letter to the General Insurance Association of Singapore (GIA) and Life Insurance Association Singapore (LIA), and copied the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Some patients had been informed by their financial advisors / insurance agents, that completion of insurance forms / drafting of medical reports were not chargeable.
As completion of insurance forms / drafting of medical reports involve input from doctors, professional fees will be incurred. SMA reiterated the above, and also reminded GIA and LIA, that proof of patient consent was needed, before such reports can be released to a third party [e.g. insurance company].
