MERCHANTRADE Asia Sdn Bhd has announced the availability of Mi Medic Pro, a groundbreaking healthcare insurance plan specifically designed for underserved communities such as migrant workers, refugees, and low-income families in Malaysia.
Underwritten by MCIS Insurance Berhad, Mi Medic Pro offers affordable protection for individuals of all ages, from infants as young as 30 days old up to 65 years, for just RM25 per month or RM300 annually and is the only healthcare insurance in Malaysia that allows self-purchase by foreign workers.
Mi Medic Pro aims to make healthcare more affordable for everyone, including the youngest members of our community.
This plan offers up to RM12,000 annually to help pay for hospital in-patient treatments at both government and a wide network of private hospitals across Malaysia.
Mi Medic Pro is more inclusive as it accepts a wider range of identification, making it easier for underserved people to get the healthcare protection they need.
Employers and foreign worker agencies invest so much in bringing them here and need to ensure they have access to quality healthcare.
Getting care at congested government hospitals can be time consuming, so having more options for faster treatments ultimately benefits all parties. Mi Medic Pro offers significantly better protection for just a fraction of the cost compared to government-assisted insurance schemes that are available today.
Merchantrade chief commercial officer Ivan Alias emphasised the company’s dedication to helping communities, saying that the new healthcare plan indicates its strong commitment to being inclusive.
“We use technology to help people who are often overlooked. By working with MCIS Life, we can offer good and easy-to-access insurance that makes healthcare affordable for everyone,” he added.
“A particularly important part of Mi Medic Pro is that it covers infants as young as 30 days old. We know that many foreign nationals, migrants, and even Malaysian families struggle to find affordable healthcare options.
“This plan is a big step towards protecting vulnerable communities from unexpected medical bills. Covering babies from such a young age is especially important for migrant families who often face challenges getting timely medical care for their children due to crowded public hospitals.
“Mi Medic Pro helps by giving them access to a wider private healthcare network when they need it most.”
One such case involved a UNHCR cardholder who needed surgery and treatment immediately.
Facing costs of nearly RM5,000, which was a huge financial problem, they were able to get the necessary treatment, and a one-night hospital stay thanks to Mi Medic Pro. This meant their health wasn’t put at risk because of money or accessibility.
Meanwhile, MCIS Life chief executive officer Prasheem Seebran noted that this partnership with Merchantrade Asia shows their shared goal of making healthcare accessible and affordable for everyone.
“By extending this coverage to underserved communities, we can help families and individuals, no matter their background, get good medical care when they need it most,” he remarked.
“This partnership fills important gaps in healthcare and shows how important it is to work together to find solutions for those who are vulnerable.”
Applying for Mi Medic Pro is simple and convenient. Individuals can purchase the plans directly from any Merchantrade branch nationwide or consult with appointed sales representatives for in-person assistance.
