FAQs
Can I claim for medical expenses and TCM treatment as a result of sprain, strain, back pain or skeletal muscle injuries?
For you to be eligible to claim for medical expenses/TCM treatment, there must be an Accident which result in sprain, strain, back pain or skeletal muscle injuries and is not due to exercise or household chores or overuse of muscles.
Please note that Injury must be a visible damage or visible harm to the Insured Person’s body caused by an external force during the Period of Insurance which is caused directly and solely by an Accident.
