When you seek medical treatment at a Medical Institution (MI) participating in the MediSave scheme, the MI staff will inform you if your MediSave can be used for the treatment as well as the amount you may use.
If you intend to use MediSave for your treatment, you will need to complete the Medical Claims Authorisation Form (MCAF) provided by the MI staff, and authorise them to submit the claim on your behalf.
There are two types of MCAF available:
1. MCAF (Single Institution)
To authorise a specific Medical Institution (MI) to submit MediSave claim(s) for your own and/or your family member(s) medical expenses that can tap on MediSave. If you have ongoing outpatient treatments at the MI, you can provide authorisation for a specific visit, a specific time period, or a standing authorisation until you revoke it.
2. MCAF (Multiple Institutions)
To authorise all Public Healthcare Institutions (PHI) from now on to submit MediSave claims for your own medical expenses that can tap on MediSave. This means that if you have authorised via MCAF (Multiple Institutions) at one PHI – for example, a hospital, and subsequently visited another PHI such as a polyclinic, the polyclinic need not seek your consent again to claim the medical expenses on your behalf from your MediSave. The authorisation will remain valid until you revoke it.
