Difference between Perkeso HSP Mammogram and LPPKN Mammogram Subsidy Program

Lately, my friends have been asking me about Perkeso and LPPKN mammogram since both are offering free mammogram subsidies. They asked me if they went under Perkeso program, can they still go for LPPKN subsidy? Now, it's not really which program you should go for but most importantly, is there a need? You see, there are certain criteria to fulfill before one go for mammogram screening. Even in a year, you don't need to go for 2 or 3 times for screening just because it's being subsidized. You need to firstly consult your doctor whether they recommend you to go for once a year screening or twice a year screening. 

Perkeso Health Screening - Mammogram

This program is mainly for SOCSO contributors who have the voucher. This program was launched last year to help minimize the health risk among Malaysian workers. So far, there's no news from the Ministry whether or not they will continue this program on a yearly basis or on a one-off basis. As mentioned in my previous posting, those who have the voucher and yet to go for your screening should take note that there's an expiry date from the date the voucher print date. Just remember that you will need to go a registered panel clinic before going to the mammogram centres for your screening. If you want to know more, just  refer to the steps involved at the sidebar. 

LPPKN Mammogram Subsidy

This program is slightly different as it is organized by The National Population and Family Board (LPPKN) to help increase the breast cancer awareness among women in Malaysia. This program is open to Malaysian women citizen and permanent resident aging from 40-70 years old. It is also opened to women who are aged 35-39 years old with family history of breast cancer or at “high risk” with the reference from a certified doctor. 

If you’re earning RM 5,000 and below, the mammogram screening is provided to you FREE (though some hospitals may charge a minimal fee for registration etc). 

For those earning RM 5,000 and above, you are subsidized RM 50 for the mammogram. Generally, mammogram priced between RM 100 – 120 depending on hospital. So, you just need to top up the difference. Because this program is under LPPKN, any abnormal cases will be notified to LLPKN as well. This is because there’ll be a choice for you whether you would like to seek their panel doctors for treatment or help, or you seek treatment at a private hospital on your own. For those who can’t afford the treatment, LPPKN will be there to assist you further.

Previously, you will need to go to the nearest LPPKN panel Klinik Nur Sejahtera to register for the free mammogram screening. However, due to the cumbersome practice, LPPKN has changed some of their policies to allow direct registration at the participating centres. Some medical centres have been given the green light to process the application directly without you having to go to the Nur Sejahtera Clinics. 

So far, I know Columbia Asia and Alpha Specialist Centre has started accepting the registration at their centres. Others, perhaps I will gather the info for you. 


To recap, the whole purpose for these programs implemented by the Government is to help women in Malaysia. The difference is just 2 organisations offering different programs. But the frequency to go for the mammogram screening relies your doctor's advice to you. 

 

Free Medical Check-Up & Health Screening Voucher Perkeso/Socso

For those who have yet to go for their health screening under the Perkeso HSP program, you should take note that there's a eligibility period printed on the voucher. I mean there's a expired date printed on it. If you notice it's stated "Tarikh Luput adalah setahun dari tarikh cetak" ie. Due 1 year from the date this voucher is printed.




So best take note since it's free anyway. So why not get your health checked! If you don't know where to go or what to do, just refer to my guide on the right column as well as the list of panel clinics available. For female, the clinics will tell you the options for mammogram centres.

Perkeso Health Screening (HSP) /Saringan Kesihatan

The free health screening test for private sector workers above the age of 40, was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak when tabling the 2013 Budget on Sept 28, last year. Most employers had distributed the vouchers to their staff by now. If you haven’t received one, best is to check with your employers.

For your info, the health screening is only eligible for SOCSO contributors who are above 40 years old. The screening is aimed at detecting non-communicable diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

Vouchers

The first voucher is for standard screening which consists of physical examination, consultation, blood test, urine test and Pap smear (for women) and the second voucher is solely for mammogram screening.

Please refer to the next post on the steps to proceed as well as all the panel clinics registered under Perkeso’s HSP.
