Computer Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET Scan) are common diagnostic imaging tests. In simple cases, they can be done in clinics and do not require hospitalization.
However, traditional medical insurance mostly provides coverage for diagnostic imaging tests conducted during hospitalization. As a result, many policyholders intentionally arrange for tests during hospital stays, which may be a waste of time and potentially affect the insurance claims if the medical necessity criteria are not met.
There are no such restrictions with Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS). The insured can still be covered even if they undergo specified diagnostic imaging tests (CT, MRI, PET scans) in a medical center/outpatient clinic!
VHIS provides coverage for diagnostic imaging tests (CT, MRI, PET scans) conducted in medical centers/clinics as long as the doctor deems it medically necessary. VHIS will reimburse 70% of the costs. The following are the coverage limits for “Diagnostic Imaging Tests” under Bowtie’s VHIS plan
