KUALA LUMPUR: The introduction of basic medical and health insurance/takaful (MHIT) products will mark the first step in the implementation of the diagnosis-related group (DRG) payment model, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.
He said MHIT products would steer private healthcare towards a value-based healthcare model with fairer rules for those with pre-existing conditions.
