Review two-decade old fee schedule, not force GPs to display prices, says MMA


PETALING JAYA: It is time for the authorities to review the general practitioner clinics' fee schedules stagnant for two decades instead of forcing them to display medicine prices, says the Malaysian Medical Association.

The association which has over 17,000 members said the stagnant fee schedule is straining over 12,000 clinics nationwide facing rising operating costs and even forcing some to close, which ultimately means less medical access for patients.
