With A-Plus MedCare, the customer is never alone. This 24/7 service accompanies the customer at all times, throughout the journey of diagnosis, treatment, monitoring the treatment progress until recovery.

Please note that if you decide to proceed with the treatment plan as recommended by our service provider, the cost of medical treatment may or may not be covered under your Policy or medical card with the Company.

The decision of treatment is always taken jointly with the patient’s treating doctor, together with the patient’s consent. It is important to note that our service provider do not treat patients directly, nor prescribe medications, nor execute treatments or procedures, and therefore would not be able to take on the responsibility of the treating doctor.
