Medical Product Claim
How do I make a claim?
DearTime has made insurance claim simple and fully digitalised for your ultimate convenience.
During your admission to any one of our panel hospitals, you only need to show your DearTime digital medical card at the hospital counter. We will work with the panel hospital directly and issue your Guarantee Letter for your cashless admission.
Where is my medical card?
Your medical card is found under “Claim” menu in your DearTime App.
Do I need to pay admission deposit after my Guarantee Letter is issued?
Yes, most hospitals require a deposit as their admission process. This deposit will be refunded to you after Deductible and the charges that are not covered under your Medical plan.
What is Deductible?
Deductible is the amount of medical bill you need to pay first for each private hospital admission before DearTime pays the rest of eligible expenses.
Why is the issuance of my Guarantee Letter declined?
There are various reasons why your Guarantee Letter cannot be issued. Here are some examples:
- Your Medical coverage is inactive, or the premium is not paid.
- Your medical/physical condition falls under the list of exclusions.
- You are admitted to a non-panel hospital.
It has been hours since my doctor said I can be discharged but the medical bill is still not settled. How long more do I have to wait?
On average, doctors take a few hours to complete your medical report before the hospital admin staff can generate your final hospitalisation bill. Once the bill is ready, DearTime takes about 30 minutes to process the final bill and issue final guarantee letter to panel hospital. If there is any outstanding amount that is not covered under your Medical plan, the hospital admin staff will advise you accordingly.
If I am admitted to a non-panel hospital (including government hospitals) or I have incurred any medical treatment charges that do not require admission, how do I claim my Medical insurance coverage?
DearTime has made insurance claim simple and fully digitalised for your ultimate convenience. If you are admitted to a non-panel hospital, you can claim for your medical bill reimbursement by providing the required information and uploading proofs of claim in your DearTime App.

Thanksgiving
What is Thanksgiving?
Life is busy, and sometimes it can be easy to forget to show your gratitude for all that you’ve been given. At the same time, a gifting act also helps in improving your emotional wellbeing by spreading love and care to the community via DearTime Sponsored Insurance, the first of its kind.
How does Thanksgiving works?
10% of the insurance premium payable will be allocated as Thanksgiving, which the Owner can use as a premium discount for himself (if Owner is classified as B40 group), as gratitude to the Referrer (if any), or as a gift to Sponsored Insurance.
Owner can allocate to any of the categories with a limit of up to 10%, during the purchase application via our mobile application.
Example:
If the Owner is under B40 group:
| Categories | Percentages (%) |
|---|---|
| Owner (self) | 5 |
| Referrer | 2 |
| Sponsored Insurance | 3 |
| Total | 10 |
If the Owner is not under B40 group:
| Categories | Percentages (%) |
|---|---|
| Referrer | 5 |
| Sponsored Insurance | 5 |
| Total | 10 |
What is B40 Group?
B40 Group is the low-income group that forms the bottom 40% of Malaysian citizens whose monthly household income is RM4,849 and below.
If I’m under B40 group, how does the premium discount works?
The premium discount will be reflected on the checkout page based on the percentage that you have allocated.
What would happen to my Thanksgiving if my pay rises above the B40 threshold in the future?
Once you have updated your income in our application and it exceeded the threshold, your will not be eligible to receive the Thanksgiving. Hence, your premium will be adjusted accordingly in next premium due date. The percentage allocated to yourself will be reallocated to Sponsored Insurance.
