Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up, addressing a tooth cavity, or considering treatments like Invisalign, MSIG Insurance may be able to help offset a significant portion of your dental costs.

Conveniently located in the heart of Singapore (Raffles Place and Telok Ayer), Dental Designs Clinic is an accredited provider for MSIG Insurance. This guide is designed to help you understand how to use your MSIG Insurance for dental treatments at Dental Designs Clinic. Whether you're an expatriate or a local seeking a reliable clinic with international standards of sterilisation, hygiene and modern equipment, our friendly team is here to assist.

 

How does my dental insurance work?

At Dental Designs Clinic, we offer self-claim insurance options to ensure you receive the benefits you’re entitled to, even if your insurance isn’t part of our direct claim network. Here’s a simple guide on how the process works when you use your MSIG insurance with us.

 

  • Before Your Appointment

If you have dental insurance, please let us know while booking your appointment. This will smoothen the billing process on the day of your appointment. Our receptionists are happy to answer any questions you may have about your insurance or coverage before your visit.

 

  • MSIG is a Self-Claim Insurance

With MSIG insurance, payment is collected at the time of your appointment. After your dental treatment, we’ll provide you with a detailed, itemised invoice and any other required documents, making it easy for you to submit a claim for reimbursement through HR or directly with MSIG healthcare (based on your company’s process).

 

  • It’s a good idea to check what your MSIG plan covers

MSIG offers different levels of dental insurance, so your coverage may/may not include procedures such as check-ups, fillings, crowns or even orthodontic treatments like Invisalign. Log in to your MSIG portal or give them a call to find out the details of your plan, such as annual limits, co-payments, pre-authorisation and any exclusions.

How to use my MSIG insurance for dental treatment?

1. Present Your Insurance Information

When you arrive for your appointment, simply bring along your NRIC/FIN card and your dental insurance or staff card. This helps us confirm your insurance details to put in our records.

 

2. Checking Insurance Forms

Since MSIG is a self-claim type of insurance, please bring along any necessary forms or insurance documents, and our team will assist you in filling them out accurately. We’re here to ensure that the claim submission process is as easy as possible for you.

 

3. During Your Appointment

Your dentist will conduct your treatment as usual. For self-claim insurances, the clinic will not be able to see which treatment is covered and which is not. Therefore, we recommend checking your policy in advance and letting the dentist know if the treatment you need is covered.

 

4. After Your Appointment

Once your appointment is complete, our receptionist will provide you with your invoice and supporting documents so you can submit your claim for reimbursement.

 

5. Book Your Next Appointment

With your insurance information now on file, booking and managing future visits will be even easier. Just let us know if there have been any changes in your insurance details, and we’ll update our records accordingly.
