Since the Hospitalisation and Surgical Scheme for Foreign Workers (SKHPPA) kicked off in Jan 2011, the benefits of this scheme have remained unchanged. This is all set to change. 

Since 1 January 2016, the government has removed the healthcare subsidy for foreigners. 

This resulted in a revision in the room and board under the Schedule of Benefits of SKHPPA to a maximum of RM160 per day. 
In addition, with effect from 1 August 2016, the Overall Annual Limit of SKHPPA shall be increased from RM10,000 to RM20,000 per worker per year. This shall apply to new and renewal policies with effective date on or after 1 August 2016. 

With these changes, the annual premium per worker remains at RM120. We are in the process of updating these changes in our market collaterals and systems. For more details of the government hospitals' treatment charges for foreigners, you may refer to the website http://www.moh.gov.my/index.php/pages/view/163
