Insurance partnership

Government hospitals do not have cooperative insurance companies, only Panel Hospitals have them but government hospitals are not panel hospitals. Patients need to pay first and then file a claim with their own insurance company.

  • *Panel Hospital refers to the hospital designated by the insured insurance company in its medical policy. If the insured goes to the designated hospital for treatment, there is no need to pay medical expenses in advance.
1. How to search for doctors?

The doctor searching function can be found on The Kuala Lumpur General Hospital website. You may check whether the doctor provides the medical services you need.

2. How to enjoy the shuttle bus service?

Currently there are 2 shuttles available for patients. Each shuttle is convenient for people with disabilities.
