Q5. Why do I need to pay for medical report?

A Medical Report is a comprehensive summary of the patient's medical condition. The doctor will need to review the patient's medical records in order to produce an accurate report that meets the needs of the requestor.
Medical Report is not covered under regular consultation and hospitalization fees. Thus, a fee will be charged to cover the hospital's administrative costs for providing the report.

This is a standard practice across all the Public Healthcare Institutions in Singapore.

Q6. Can I use my Medisave to pay for the charges of the medical report?
No, Medisave cannot be used to pay for a medical report.

Q7. Can I claim the medical report fees from my insurance company?
You will need to check with your insurance company.

Q8. My hospitalization bill is only about $200. How useful is the medical report for small claims?
For small claims (<$1,000), you are advised to process the insurance claim using the Inpatient Discharge Summary/Memorandum/Other Investigation Results. You should request for a medical report only if the insurance company requests for it.

Q9. I have been seen by two different doctors. Can I request for one consolidated medical report?
The two doctors you consulted were for different conditions. It is necessary for each doctor to write the medical report based on your medical condition and the treatment each of them rendered. Hence, you will need to request for two separate medical reports.

Q10. I have visited the hospital for various reasons. Which medical report should I be requesting?
You are advised to request for the medical report that is relevant to the purpose of your claim. Do note that each request for a medical report is chargeable.

Q11. What happens if the doctor is no longer with the hospital?
We will reassign an appropriate doctor to write the medical report. The procedure for application follows the normal process

Q12. What happens if a medical report cannot be processed?
The release of the patient’s medical information is subject to official approval by the institution. In the event that we are unable to process a medical report, the requestor will receive a notification and refund of the payment if the medical report fee has been paid.
