With regards to Medishield /Integrated shield plan, what is the difference between outpatient expenses and post hospitalisation expenses?

Hi anon,

​

If you were not warded, your expenses for getting treatment at the hospital are considered outpatient since you were not admitted IN to the hospital.

​

Post hospitalization expenses refer to the cost of continuing medically necessary treatment after a discharge. The treatment must be related to your admission.

Hi,

​

Outpatient expenses is when one goes to the hospital for treatment but do not need to be warded.

​

Post Hospitalisation expenses is when one is previously warded and discharged and subsequently there is still a need to come back for follow-up treatment.

​

Hope that answers your questions.

​

Cheers.
