PETALING JAYA: Only six of the 56 managed care organisations (MCOs) had registered with the Health Ministry when the deadline expired on March 31.
“Doctors can only deal with registered MCOs. It is wrong for them to deal with those that have yet to register,” Health Ministry director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican said Thursday. Dr Ismail said the ministry was considering making the names of the registered MCOs public so that people would know whether the companies they have signed up with are authorised by the ministry to carry out dealings.
