Malaysia Hospital for SIngaporean

PATIENTS who want to use Medisave to pay for private care abroad will be able to do so at 12 hospitals and medical centres in Malaysia from next month.
The facilities, owned by two Singapore health-care groups, offer care which could cost as little as half what it does here.
Patients who opt for the Malaysian hospitals must be referred by the Singapore groups' centres first. They can use money from their Medisave accounts only for day surgery or in-hospital admissions, subject to the same withdrawal limits as in Singapore.
The move, nearly a year in the making, gives Singaporeans, permanent residents and their immediate families more choice in where to receive in-patient and day surgery treatments.
The two groups are Health Management International (HMI), whose referral centre is its clinic in Balestier, and Parkway Holdings, whose referral centre is East Shore Hospital.
The ministry felt that having local partners would give an assurance of quality and prevent abuse, such as claims for unnecessary treatments, or bogus claims. -Strait times
