Accident & Health Claims
1. How do I obtain a copy of the Inpatient Discharge Summary, and do I have to pay any fees to the hospital concerned?
You can obtain a copy of the Inpatient Discharge Summary from the hospital concerned. This is usually available at no cost.
2. Under what circumstances will you waive the requirement for a medical report, which would require the payment of a fee on my part?
If your claim amount is below S$1,000, we may accept a copy of the Inpatient Discharge Summary as an alternative to the medical report.
3. Will I be able to seek reimbursement from more than one insurer for a medical expenses claim?
No, you can only seek reimbursement for incurred medical expenses from one insurer.
4. Can I request that a claim be paid to a third party other than (i.e. the insured and claimant)?
In general, we typically only pay the claim to the insured. However, we’re happy to consider such requests on a case-by-case basis.
5. Is it compulsory to complete the claim form if I want to make a claim under the policy?
You can submit your claim online via the Chubb Claims Centre. Alternatively, you may wish to download a copy of the relevant claim form and submit the completed claim form to our email.
6. In the event of a death claim, who is entitled to receive the insurance benefit under my policy?
If the claim is admissible under the policy, we’ll pay the benefit sum to the estate of the deceased. If a Grant of Probate or Letter of Administration is available, we’ll pay the nominated person(s) as outlined in the document.
7. Can I opt to defer my medical treatment to a later date for personal reasons, and if I do, will I be penalised?
If the deferment of medical treatment doesn’t result in any deterioration in your existing medical condition and/or cause or lead to other medical conditions, your claim will not be penalised.
Note: Your policy may contain provisions that stipulate the time frame within which expenses must be incurred, and these provisions will continue to apply.
8. Can I submit my claim via email (with scanned copies of supporting documents)?
Yes, we accept claim submissions via email, provided your claim doesn’t relate to the reimbursement of medical or other expenses.
9. Will you still consider accepting my claim, even if I submit it after the 30-day deadline specified in your policy?
We can still consider your claim if there are valid reasons for the late submission, provided that the delay hasn’t prejudiced our assessment of the claim.
