Summary

Hospitalisation and Surgical (H & S) insurance is getting popular in Malaysia. Escalating medical treatment costs force consumers to urgently look for H&S insurance as an alternative in preparing themselves financially in the event of serious sickness or accident.

It is heartening to see varieties of H&S insurance being sold in the market, but most consumers have difficulty navigating the maze of insurance terms and jargon. Some consumers tend to compare the premium rates and overlook the comprehensiveness of the product. Some zoom into table of benefits when reading an H&S insurance product brochure without paying attention to the small print around the table of benefits. Most of the time, it is difficult to recognise good coverage or to compare the pros and cons of different products.

This book therefore provides readers with more informed and wiser decisions on choosing suitable H&S insurance.
