All Social Security Organisation (Perkeso) contributors need no longer pay for medical treatment at panel clinics for work-related accidents and occupational diseases

Starting this year, all Social Security Organisation (Perkeso) contributors no longer need to pay for medical treatment at panel clinics for work-related accidents and occupational diseases, according to Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong.

He stated that there are 1,400 Perkeso panel clinics across the country, including 129 in Penang. Contributors can visit any of these 1,400 clinics nationwide and receive medical treatment at no cost, there is no need to pay upfront. Present your identification card for verification at panel clinics, and if you are a Perkeso member, you won’t have to pay anything.

Previously, individuals had to cover treatment costs ranging from RM150 to RM200 per visit and later claim reimbursement from Perkeso.
