For on-going Post Covid-19 Vaccination Coverage, please refer here.

Prudential Malaysia customers, we are here to help you and your family face the uncertainties of the pandemic with complimentary coverage for hospitalisation due to COVID-19 infection and post vaccination benefits. Here’s what you’ll be covered for if you sign up with Pulse by Prudential:

1. Hospitalisation coverage due to COVID-19 infection

To ensure that our customers are well-protected during these unprecedented times, we are allocating RM20 million to provide assistance to our customers, whose medical plans have general pandemic exclusion in particular. As such, we will be providing reimbursement on goodwill basis to cover for COVID-19 infection related medical expenses based on the following:

COVID-19 Hospitalisation Assistance:

  • Up to RM5,000 reimbursement for Category 3

  • Up to RM15,000 reimbursement for Category 4

  • Up to RM20,000 reimbursement for Category 5


COVID-19 Upgraded Plan Assistance:

For our customers whose current medical plans were upgraded from PRUMajor Med plans previously, we will provide reimbursement on goodwill basis to cover for COVID-19 infection related medical expenses based on the policy/certificate document of their previous medical plans.

On the other hand, for customers with medical plans without pandemic exclusion, reimbursement for medical expenses due to COVID-19 infection will be based on their medical plans’ terms and conditions.

2. Post COVID-19 vaccination coverage

For all Prudential Malaysia customers, we will be providing RM500 cash relief for hospitalisation due to adverse effects from immunisation (AEFI) within 7 days after an approved COVID-19 vaccination. We are the first life insurer and takaful operator in Malaysia to provide this coverage for your peace of mind.
