AXA Affin SmartCare Optimum Medical Card

There are a couple ways for you to make your claims when dealing with AXA Affin. It varies and depends on the type of claim you are making.

If you require emergency medical attention then you will be driving into the emergency admission at the hospital you visit. In the case that you are at a AXA Affin Panel hospital then you need only present your medical card and let AXA Affin handle the rest. You will be required to fill up a pre-authorization form as well. For the most part this is the easiest method. If you are not at a Panel hospital then you will have to make your own payments and later submit a claim form for reimbursement. 

The next option is that, you might have a scheduled visit to the hospital. In this case, you will need to contact AXA Affin a day or two before your appointment and send them the admission letter provided by the hospital. This way you will receive a guarantee letter from MiCare that you can bring along with you to the appointment, and will make payments easier.

Lastly, if you are requesting a reimbursement from AXA Affin then as per the work flow, you will need to have the claim form that you can get here. You will need to gather a claim statement, medical report, all original bills and receipts and an investigation report. Compile and submit these documents to AXA Affin or your agent and you will have begun the claims process.
