Employees who contribute to the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso) no longer need to pay for treatment at all 1,400 panel clinics starting this year. This benefit, however, is limited to eligible workers receiving benefits under the Occupational Disability Scheme or those suffering from work-related illnesses. Minister of Human Resources, Steven Sim Chee Keong, said this will ease access to healthcare, especially for low-income earners. Previously, workers had to pay for treatment upfront and then claim reimbursement, often incurring costs of RM150 to RM200 per visit. Now, they can simply walk into a Perkeso panel clinic, show their identification card, and receive treatment without any out-of-pocket expenses.
BUKIT MERTAJAM : Pekerja yang mencarum dengan Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial kini tidak perlu membuat sebarang bayaran bagi mendapatkan rawatan di semua 1,400 klinik panel pertubuhan itu mulai tahun ini.
Menteri Sumber Manusia, Steven Sim Chee Keong berkata, dengan adanya kemudahan itu, ia akan memudahkan pekerja khususnya mereka yang berpendapatan rendah untuk mendapatkan rawatan pada bila-bila masa sahaja. Hadir sama Ketua Menteri, Chow Kon Yeow; Pengerusi Lembaga Perkeso, Datuk Seri Subahan Kamal serta beberapa kenamaan lain.
Mengulas lanjut mengenai rawatan tanpa bayaran di klinik panel Perkeso, Steven berkata, selain memberi kemudahan kepada pekerja, langkah tersebut juga menyenangkan para majikan secara tidak langsung.
