I Managed to Get Some Medical Claims for My Colonoscopy (Plus upcoming Webinar on Medical Claims) – Funding Moats

Readers of Funding Moats would keep in mind I lately shared about my colonoscopy expertise in order that you wouldn’t really feel so apprehensive to go for one your self. You’ll be able to examine it right here:

I Did My Colonoscopy Going the Personal Route of Singapore Common Hospital. Full Expertise Right here.

Within the write up, I discussed that I needed to pay the entire expertise of $2,137 with my very own cash. $1,249 got here from my Medisave and $888 from money.

The one advantage of working in Providend/Havend is that I can all the time examine with my colleague Jiamin relating to these stuff.

I believed whether or not I am going over the deductible or not, I ought to submit my pre-hospitalization session value of $177 (which is included in that $2,137 above) as a declare submission.

Effectively, I received $130 in claims reimbursement! Small quantity which is sort of equal to 6 months of the rooster value in my meal prep.

So a fast recap:

1. I’ve a Tier 1 protect plan which ought to permit me to assert for personal hospitalization
2. I’ve a rider that solely covers the co-insurance. Because of this I’ve to pay for the deductible.

This was what was robotically e-filed, or robotically submitted by the hospital:

Yow will discover the reference to the deductible on this MOH article right here.

So mine would fall underneath Class B2 and above. Surprisingly I believed it could be underneath Day Surgical procedure however I feel the deductible restrict right here is $2,000 and since I solely submitted a declare of $1,960, that’s $40 beneath the deductible.

So I needed to pay the whole lot myself.

My colleague Jiamin assist me submit the pre-hospitalization declare.

The analysis from Singlife actually took some time and I thank Jiamin for chasing it for me.

So allow us to take a look at the end result of this new declare submission:

We’re claiming underneath a pre-hospital remedy, which lets you declare these session and go to prices that happen 180 days previous to remedy.

So now the full collected yearly submission is about $2,137, which is now above the deductible. The final submission was $1,960, and you’ll see right here it accounts for the $40 that will make my whole yearly submission go over $2,000.

So out of the $177.12, after the $40, we are going to consider the $137.12 for co-insurance.

The Singlife MyShield would pay for many of this however the affected person (me) must pay 10% of the co-insurance:

• 90%: $137 x 90% = $123.3 <— MyShield pays.
• 10%: $137 x 10% = $13.71 <— Kyith must pay.

However since my rider, Singlife Well being Plus, it permits me to offset the co-insurance.

The subsequent part of the invoice supplies a break down:

Because the $13.71 comes as much as be 10% of the quantity that I’ve to pay, 50% of it’s borne by Singlife Well being Plus ($6.85).

So Singlife will reimburse me $123.3 + $6.85.
