The government-run mySalam National Health Protection Scheme offers RM50 per day cash assistance and many people in Malaysia are not aware of it. The initiative is aimed at providing financial support to lower cost of living households when a member of their household is admitted to hospital without incurring any registration or monthly premiums.
You can receive up to RM700 a year as a cash benefit if you receive Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) and you were recently admitted to the Government Hospital. This step-by-step explanations guide will assist you to understand the eligibility criteria, claim process, and significant deadlines.
Who Can Claim the RM50 Daily Hospital Benefit?
Malaysians who are eligible indeed will be automatically covered by the Government databases in the mySalam Scheme. Individuals do not need to apply for separate forms or insure.
In general, if you are a Malaysian citizen within the age group of 18 and 65, and are registered a recipient of the STR programme or via your spouse under the B40 income group, you are eligible to apply generally. Eligibility is determined by information provided to STR by government agencies.
A significant aspect of the scheme is that the daily hospital allowance is still paid when the hospitalisation was due to an existing medical condition.
How Much Financial Assistance Can You Receive?
The Government reimburses eligible beneficiaries with a sum of RM50 for each day spent in any of government hospitals, up to a maximum of 14 days per calendar year.
This is equivalent to the highest annual payment that can be received, which is RM700. The cash assistance can cover transportation costs, food and other expenses that frequently follow medical treatment and recovery.
Documents You Need Before Filing a Claim
The first document is a good copy of your MyKad. The official Hospital Discharge Note (Nota Discaj) from the hospital will also be required. Your name, MyKad should be written clearly in the discharge note together with your diagnosis/prior condition to hospitalization and the hospital admission and discharge dates.
These considerations apply when uploading files: Keep files as PDF or JPEG; Do not use special characters or spaces in file names.
