FWD Care Card claims
Making life easier with cash-free medical treatment
FWD Care is a customer benefit so you can have medical treatment at one of our FWD registered hospitals. Card holders will receive medical treatment without paying in advance (excluding costs that exceed the benefits of your coverage). Terms and conditions apply.
If you need to receive medical help due to illness or injury as an inpatient or outpatient at one of our hospitals, you can use FWD Care Card under the terms and conditions in your policy.
How to use your FWD Care Card
You can use the FWD Care Card at our network of hospitals.
If you receive treatment from our network of hospitals, we'll then pay the bill directly on your behalf. Just show your card.

In-Patient
- Present your FWD Care Card (check its expiry date) along with your ID card or student card or valid documents issued by the government. Then fill in the form provided by the hospital.
- Upon discharge, the hospital officer will review your total expenditure to ensure that it meets the agreed coverage and conditions stated in your policy. If the total cost exceeds your coverage, the hospital will charge the excess amount directly to you, the policy owner.
- The FWD Care Card must be presented each time you (or the insured) visit a hospital. If not, you’ll need to pay in advance and then submit a claim. Need to know how to do this? Head here to our Health and Accident claims page.
- We assess accident claims after we receive billing from the hospital where the insured has received treatment using the FWD Care Card.
- Hospitals normally bill us within two months. Therefore if you / the insured person need us to pay any accidental claim (AI) earlier than the normal cycle, you / the insured person has to submit a claim (together with your medical certificate) directly to us.

In-Patient
- Present your FWD Card (check its expiry date) along with your ID card or student card or a valid document as issued by the government. Then fill in and sign the form provided by the hospital. This will be in part 1 of the policy owner section (Inpatient “Health Care” form).
- After visiting the doctor, if you need to be admitted to hospital for further treatment, the hospital officer will contact the Claims Department to request permission for you to pay with the FWD Care Card. If accepted, you will receive treatment without having to pay (conditions may apply). However, if your sickness is serious - such as an accident or emergency - you will be treated immediately without needing to seek permission from the Claims Department. After the treatment, the hospital will then contact the Claims Department to process the claim.
- Upon discharge, the hospital will inform the Claims Department about the total cost. The cost must be covered by the agreed conditions in your insurance policy. If the total cost exceeds the coverage, the hospital will charge the excess amount directly to you, the insured person.
- If you buy any other policies such as daily hospital cash benefit (HB) or accidental indemnity (AI), we will provide benefits as agreed in the policy upon your discharge from hospital. There is no need to submit documents to the Claims Department except in special cases where we will inform you.
- If we later find that the cause of illness or injury is an excluded condition of your policy, we reserve the right to reject this claim - even after we’ve approved it.
- If you’ve paid any medical expenses at one of our network hospitals and didn’t use your FWD Care Card, you can still submit a claim (with your documents) by following the normal claims process.
