Should a circumstance, event or loss occur which could result in you making a claim, you should notify Aon Malaysia immediately.  Please refer to the Claims link on this website for more information and procedure on notifying claims.

  • Aon Malaysia has no liability for any failure or refusal by that intermediary to disclose any remuneration;
  • Aon Malaysia has no liability for any act, error or omission by that intermediary or its directors or officers; and

6. Incorrect premium calculations: We make every effort to correctly determine the premium and (if applicable) statutory charges that apply to your insurance. However, occasionally errors can occur, for example, where we make an unintentional error or because a third party advises us of the wrong amount. Please note that we retain the right to correct any such error and you agree, to the extent permitted by law, not to hold Aon Malaysia responsible for any loss you may suffer as a result of the error and its correction.
7. Conflicts of interest and confidentiality:

Honesty and fairness
We treat our clients honestly and fairly. In circumstances where conflicts of interest arise, we manage such conflicts so that they do not materially affect the quality of the services we provide to you. We do this in a variety of ways including the following:
  • We maintain clear separation between different parts of our business where association could lead to conflicts arising;
  • We strongly promote our values, which includes openness, trust and integrity; and
  • We have staff dedicated to monitoring compliance.

Confidential information
We will keep all information received from you confidential, and use it solely for the purpose of providing services to you. However, our confidentiality obligation does not apply:
  • where you have given permission for us to disclose the information;
  • where disclosure is required to satisfy legal obligations or regulatory requirements;
  • where disclosure is reasonably required to carry out the services we provide to you (for example providing information to current or prospective insurers);
  • where such information is in the public domain; or
  • where the information is lawfully in our possession at the time it is communicated to us.
We will put in place such arrangements as we see fit in order to ensure that the confidentiality of the information is maintained.

In addition, you agree that we will not be under any obligation to disclose to you any information in respect of which we owe a duty of confidentiality to another client.

Where this is or could become the case, we deal with each client in a way that ensures that our service is not in any way impaired and that each client’s confidential information is kept strictly confidential. We will put in place such arrangements as we see fit in order to ensure that the confidentiality of your information is maintained.

Selecting your Limit of Indemnity

The most important decision that you need to make when you take out SMI protection is the choice of Limit of Indemnity. Like any insurance policy, SMI provides doctors with the option of choosing from a range of limits that will apply in the aggregate to all claims arising from treatment provided during the one-year policy period. . SMI provides choices of limit ranging from S$5 million to S$15 million in the aggregate. When selecting your SMI limit of indemnity, please consider the following:

  • The nature of your practice. Some specialties, including obstetrics, orthopaedics and neurosurgery have a higher risk of large malpractice claims due to the nature of treatment or the age of the patients.
  • The number of patients you see. The SMI limit of indemnity is an aggregate limit, which means that the limit is shared amongst all claims arising from treatment given during the 12-month policy period. The possibility of the limit being required to cover more than one claim should be taken into account.
  • The impact of inflation. While most malpractice claims in Singapore need to be brought within three years of the date of discovery, in some cases it is possible for claims to be brought many years after the date of treatment. The limit of indemnity that you select therefore needs to account for the possibility that a claim made in the future may be a higher value claim than it is today.


Please refer to the discussion set out in Appendix 1 of the SMI Handbook for further details. Should you require any assistance in selecting an appropriate limit of indemnity please contact the Aon SMI Service Team members.
