What is an IP rider plan? What is a hospital rider? A rider in health insurance basically refers to an add-on plan that you can purchase to supplement your current plan with more benefits, extend and boost your existing healthcare and medical coverage, or to bridge any healthcare gaps that you may have in your existing plan. AXA currently only offers 1 Integrated Shield Plan Rider called the AXA Enhanced Care. Below, the benefits of the AXA Enhanced Care rider:
When you are filing an insurance claim, it basically means that you, the policyholder, is submitting a request to your insurance company to reimburse you for the medical bills you have paid for at the clinic or hospital. What sets a health insurance provider apart from another is the reliability, and convenience of the claims system.
AXA Shield Benefits | Exclusions | |
---|---|---|
Surgical Procedures | While the AXA Shield Plans A and B offers "As Charged" full coverage for surgical procedures, do note that eligible surgeries are limited to those listed in the Ministry of Health's Table 1A to 7C of surgical procedures. Exclusions listed in the above list will also be excluded from your coverage. The AXA Shield Standard Plan does not cover surgical procedures as charged. Any surgical procedures that are already listed and covered by your AXA Shield policy in other categories will not be eligible for this claim either. | |
"As Charged" Full Coverage | Although the AXA Shield Plans may at times offer full "As Charged" coverage for hospitalisation, wards, and certain inpatient and outpatient treatments, do note that you will be required to pay a 10% co-insurance out of pocket in cash, and may be subject to annual deductibles, and pro-ration factors. | |
Choice of Doctor, Clinic, or Hospital | To enjoy a cashless hospitalisation journey, do note that you will need to first attain a Letter of Guarantee (LOG) from AXA, and you will need to seek treatment with one of AXA's Shield panel General Practitioners (GP), specialists, or pre-authorised public and private hospitals. | |
Ward | Deluxe rooms, luxury suites, VIP rooms, and special rooms of any hospitals cannot be fully covered, and will be reimbursed up to standard room charges in that hospital. If you change wards throughout your stay, the deductible you eventually pay will be based on the highest class of ward you've stayed in. | |
Short-Stay Hospitalisations/ Wards | In the event you're warded in a short-stay hospitalisation ward, only your ward, prescriptions, doctor's fees, tests, dressings, blood tests, and any other treatment fees will be reimbursed. There will be no pre- or post-hospitalisation benefits. | |
Outpatient Cancer Treatments | While AXA Shield covers chemotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, for cancer treatments, certain treatments are not covered – namely, proton beam therapy, and cell, tissue, and gene therapy products. |
