How Prudential Covers Surgery Treatments
Prudential’s PRUShield and its supplementary plans offer substantial financial support for policyholders undergoing surgery, especially when they seek care from a panel specialist under PRUPanel Connect. If your colorectal surgery is performed by a Prudential panel surgeon at Aptus Surgery Centre, and your claim is properly filed through the centre’s Business Office, you may enjoy several key benefits.
One major advantage is pre-authorisation, which can provide a cashless experience for eligible treatments. This means Prudential may pay the hospital or centre directly, reducing the need for upfront payment from the patient. In addition, panel surgeons operate within agreed fee benchmarks, so costs are more predictable and transparent.
Coverage often includes diagnostic procedures like colonoscopy or biopsy leading up to the surgery, as well as follow-up consultations that are medically necessary. Depending on your plan type and riders, you may also have access to higher claim limits and lower co-payment requirements.
To make full use of these benefits, it’s important that your surgeon is part of Prudential’s panel and that claims are submitted correctly. For detailed verification, always consult your financial consultant or check your plan coverage before proceeding.
