The insurance and takaful industry has pledged RM 8 million to the COVID-19 Test Fund (CTF) in support of the Ministry of Health Malaysia’s (MOH) efforts to conduct more COVID-19 tests for Malaysians.

Insurance policy holders with group or individual medical coverage and health insurance policies are eligible to claim from the CTF if they have been referred by registered doctors to undergo the COVID-19 tests. These tests need to be conducted at recognised private laboratories as listed on the MOH website.

This funding will cover screening of COVID-19 conducted from 27 March 2020 till 30 June 2021 (or earlier if the CTF has been fully utilised).

The insurance and takaful industry has recently expanded the CTF's qualifying criteria to include patients undergoing emergency surgery and half-emergency, and all asymptomatic individual/group medical and health insurance/takaful policy/certificate (MHIT) holders in the country. Asymptomatic patients refer to individuals who may have been infected by the virus but do not have any symptoms of cough, sore throat, flu, etc.

Further information on CTF application can be accessed through the portal at www.MyCTF.my and hotline number at:
