Tanpa panel insurans coverage: Without panel insurance coverage:
- Dialisis 10 tahun: RM 50K × 10 = RM 500,000Dialysis 10 years: RM 50K × 10 = RM 500,000
- Transplant 10 tahun: RM 150K (one-off) + RM 12K × 10 (meds) = RM 270,000Transplant 10 years: RM 150K (one-off) + RM 12K × 10 (meds) = RM 270,000
- Penjimatan transplant: RM 230,000 dalam 10 tahunTransplant savings: RM 230,000 over 10 years
⚠ Tapi: Kalau anda layak panel PERKESO/KWAP, dialisis cover 100% — transplant pula tak cover (perlu bayar sendiri RM113-215K). Math berubah ketara untuk pesakit panel.⚠ But: If you qualify for PERKESO/KWAP panel, dialysis is 100% covered — transplant isn't (RM113-215K out-of-pocket). Math changes significantly for panel patients.
