How do I make a claim?

You will need to contact the Claims Department as soon as an incident happens to give rise to the claim, and then complete a claim form to kick off the claims process. The following documents are required during a claims submission:

  • Written proof of the incident e.g. a police report or doctor’s report
  • Original medical receipts
  • Invoices 
  • All supporting documents

For medical claims that come through a hospital admission, MSIG will assess your claims and notify you of the outcome. MSIG will then make a direct payment to the hospital for its share of the hospital expenses if it is an admissible claim.
