Most Malaysians with employer or personal health insurance have no idea whether the clinic near them is a panel. Then they pay out of pocket, go home, try to claim, and discover the paperwork. This guide makes it simple — here is the full list of insurance panels accepted at SERI Mediclinic Kampar, what’s covered, and exactly how to use them on your next visit.
What “Panel Clinic” Actually Means
A panel clinic has a direct-billing agreement with an insurance provider. Instead of paying cash and filing a reimbursement claim weeks later, the clinic bills the insurer directly. For you, that usually means:
- Show your insurance card and IC at the front desk
- Consultation, tests, and basic medications covered up to your policy limit
- Zero or minimal out-of-pocket at the visit
- No paperwork on your side afterwards
Insurance Panels Accepted at SERI Mediclinic Kampar
We’re on the panel of the following Malaysian insurers and third-party administrators. Bring your card to every visit.
Major insurers – Great Eastern Life – AIA Bhd – Allianz Life – Prudential Assurance – Tokio Marine Life Insurance – Manulife – MSIG Insurance – Etiqa
Third-party administrators – IHP (Integrated Healthcare Plan) – MiCare Health – Health Connect – CompuMed – Perak Prihatin (state card scheme)
Statutory schemes – PERKESO (SOCSO) — for work-related injury and illness claims – Public servants schemes (specific arrangements — ask at reception)
If your insurer isn’t on this list, you can still be seen as a cash patient and file a reimbursement claim. We provide fully itemised receipts that every insurer accepts.
Note: Panel relationships change. Call us on +60 12-551 0173 to confirm your specific policy is active before your first visit, especially if you’ve changed employers or renewed recently.
What Your Panel Typically Covers
What an insurance panel covers is set by your policy, not by the clinic. In practice, for most panels at SERI Kampar:
Usually covered: – General consultation – Basic medication dispensed at the clinic – Routine dressings for wounds – Minor surgical procedures (within policy limits) – Vaccinations (some policies) – Medical certificates for illness
Sometimes covered, check policy: – Health screening packages – Specialist consultations – Advanced wound care procedures (debridement, VAC therapy) – Ultrasound and other imaging – Physiotherapy referrals
Usually not covered: – Cosmetic procedures – Elective lifestyle treatments – Vaccinations for travel (unless specifically included)
How to Use Your Panel at SERI Kampar — Step-by-Step
Before the Visit
- Bring your physical insurance card or app-based digital card
- Bring your IC (identification card)
- If you’re not sure of coverage, call ahead and we’ll verify with your insurer
At the Clinic
- Register at reception with your IC and insurance card
- Reception runs a quick eligibility check (usually under 5 minutes)
- You see the doctor — consultation proceeds as normal
- At the end, reception processes the direct billing
- You sign a claim acknowledgement and leave
After the Visit
Nothing. Direct-billing means there’s no reimbursement to chase.
PERKESO Claims Explained
PERKESO (SOCSO) covers treatment for work-related injury and illness. If your injury happened at work or on the way to/from work:
- Notify your employer to file SIP11 or SIP12 form
- Bring the relevant PERKESO documentation to your visit
- SERI Kampar processes the PERKESO claim directly — you don’t pay for covered treatment
- Keep every medical certificate, receipt, and follow-up letter for your employer
For chronic work-related conditions (e.g. long-term wound care from a work injury), we coordinate with PERKESO on ongoing claims.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my insurer isn’t on SERI Mediclinic Kampar’s panel list?
You can still be seen as a cash patient. We provide fully itemised receipts accepted by any Malaysian insurer for reimbursement claims.
Can I use my panel for wound care and dressings?
Most major policies cover wound care. Coverage levels vary — some cover basic dressings only, others include advanced materials and debridement procedures. We verify your specific policy at the first visit.
Does my employer know when I use the panel?
Employer-provided plans typically receive aggregated claim summaries (diagnosis category, cost). Individual medical details are confidential under PDPA — specific diagnoses aren’t disclosed to employers without your consent.
Can I see a doctor on panel for non-emergency wound care?
Yes. Panel use is not restricted to emergencies — routine follow-up for chronic conditions, dressing changes, and preventive consultations are usually covered under outpatient benefits.
How long does panel verification take at reception?
Usually 2–5 minutes for major insurers. Some policies require a short pre-authorisation call if unusual services are requested; reception will let you know if that’s the case.
This article is for general education on insurance panels. Specific coverage is always determined by your individual policy — not by the clinic. Verify with your insurer or our reception staff before planned services.
