FAQs on Financing Your Care
Can I use Medisave for my treatments?
The causes of obesity are multifaceted, involving a mix of environmental, genetic, medical and behavioural factors. In many cases, our increasingly sedentary lifestyles – driven by long working hours, high-calorie diets, and limited physical activity – are major contributors to weight gain.
Can I use my personal or company medical insurance for treatments?
You may be eligible to use your medical insurance for treatments, depending on your policy type and benefits. Given the variety of insurance plans available, we advise discussing the details of your policy with our staff. Rest assured that our clinic maintains strong partnerships with all major local insurance providers.
Can I use international insurance for treatments?
Yes, you can use your international insurance for medical treatments at our clinic. We will help facilitate communication with your insurance provider to secure coverage for your treatment while you focus on your health.
We have collaborated with major international insurance companies, including Cigna, Bupa, Allianz, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, April, AXA International, UnitedHealth, GeoBlue, and many others.
I don’t have personal or company insurance. Are there any financial options available?
We recognize that not everyone has medical insurance. You can rest assured that we offer several treatment packages and payment plans to meet these needs. If you have any specific concerns or requests, please speak to our friendly staff for more information.
Insurance Panels
We are a trusted partner with most of the insurance panels and integrated shield plans. We ensure insurance pre-approvals are obtained prior to treatment and offer guidance throughout the claims process.
