LIA Singapore now offers standard pre-authorisation insurance form

IP insurers will use the form beginning 1 October.

The Life Insurance Association, Singapore (LIA Singapore) has introduced a standard form for pre-authorisation of insurance application and assessment, according to an announcement.

IP insurers will be able to use the said form on 1 October.

Prior to this, insurers were using their own pre-authorisation forms with doctors having to complete different forms with different required information.

The form was developed after receiving feedback from doctors and is designed for elective treatment in the private healthcare sector, that is, for policyholders who are seeking specialist care by private doctors in private hospitals.

“A unified practice would avert a situation such as the one in the United States where a lack of standardisation has led to excessive administrative burden on medical providers,” said LIA Singapore in a press release.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
