Real numbers

Three colleagues, three prices.

Hospital cover protects the hospital, the entity. A claim or inquiry names the practitioner. Only your own certificate follows you from clinic to clinic, locum to locum. The card shows three numbers. Yours is the fourth.

Illustrative profiles with fictitious names. The prices are real. Underwriting may still adjust for prior claims or disclosed circumstances.

How it works

Three steps. That is the whole flow.

01

Check your price

Search your specialty, pick a limit. The contribution appears instantly, tax included.

02

Send it over

One WhatsApp message with your figure attached. Free, no obligation. Our advisors reply, usually within a few hours.

03

Pay and get covered

Formal quotation and declaration, then FPX, card or e-wallet. Certificate emailed, usually within a day.

Step one takes about ten seconds and asks for a specialty, not a name. Start there.

"The right certificate is the one that fits your practice. Sometimes the honest answer is keep what you already have."

Questions

What careful practitioners ask.

Is takaful indemnity accepted for my APC or TPC?

Yes. The Malaysian Medical Council and Malaysian Dental Council require evidence of professional indemnity, not a conventional insurer specifically. The certificate issued under a takaful arrangement serves the same purpose at renewal.

Who underwrites the certificate?

Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Berhad, Malaysia's first takaful operator, established in 1984 and regulated by Bank Negara Malaysia. The certificate of indemnity is issued in their name. This site prepares your estimate and manages the application.

Can't I just go to the operator directly?

You can, and the base price would be the same published table. What medmal.my adds sits around it: our licensed advisors check the fit against your actual practice, handle the application end to end, and remain your point of contact when a claim or inquiry letter arrives. That part has no extra cost. The contribution is identical either way.

What is a retroactive date and why does it matter?

It is the date from which incidents are covered, regardless of when the claim arrives. Because medical claims often surface years after treatment, a retroactive date reaching back to when you started practising is worth more than a slightly cheaper contribution. Continuous cover protects it. A gap resets it.

I already hold cover elsewhere. Should I switch?

Not always, and sometimes the honest answer is keep what you have. Renewal is the clean moment to compare, so the retroactive date carries across. Send your current certificate and the retroactive date, limit and exclusions get checked before anything is recommended, including the option of staying put.

Does my clinic entity need its own cover?

Usually yes. Individual indemnity follows the practitioner and satisfies your personal MMC or MDC obligation. A clinic malpractice certificate covers the entity, the legal person named alongside you when a claim is filed. Most private practice owners hold both.

Who is this not for?

Three groups. Practitioners outside Malaysia, since the rate table, the operator and the councils the certificate serves are all Malaysian. A clinic or hospital as an entity, since individual indemnity follows the practitioner and the entity needs its own malpractice certificate. And anyone whose current certificate already fits their practice, since keep what you have is a recommendation this site is prepared to make.

The contribution buys a year. Continuous cover protects a career.

Medical claims often surface years after treatment, so what you renew each year is an unbroken retroactive date. Check your price, send it across, and our licensed advisors take it from there, free and with no obligation. If keeping what you already have is the right answer, that is the answer you will get.
