Alliance Medinet Dental Insurance in Singapore: How It Works

Alliance Medinet is one of Singapore’s largest healthcare network administrators, enabling cashless dental benefits for eligible patients through participating clinics. If your dental benefits are administered by Alliance Medinet, you may be able to receive treatment without paying upfront — subject to your insurer and plan terms.

This guide explains what Alliance Medinet is, how dental claims work, which insurers and programmes are supported, and how to use Alliance Medinet benefits at Dentalis with clarity and confidence.

What Is Alliance Medinet?

Alliance Medinet is not an insurance company. It is a healthcare network administrator (TPA) that manages provider panels and claims workflows on behalf of insurers and employer benefit programmes.

In practical terms, Alliance Medinet:

• Connects insurers and employers to approved clinics

• Administers eligibility checks and claims processing

• Enables cashless treatment at participating panel clinics

Because Alliance Medinet administers benefits rather than underwriting them, coverage always depends on your insurer, employer plan, and programme rules.

How Alliance Medinet Dental Claims Work

Alliance Medinet dental benefits are designed to reduce friction at the clinic — but they still follow defined rules.

Cashless Dental Treatment (Step-by-Step)

1. Eligibility verification is completed before your visit

2. Treatment is provided at a participating panel clinic

3. The clinic submits the claim directly to Alliance Medinet

4. No upfront payment is required if the treatment falls within coverage limits

When Payment May Still Be Required

Even under Alliance Medinet, payment may be required if:

• Treatment exceeds annual benefit limits

• The procedure is excluded under your plan

• A co-payment or deductible applies

This is why benefit verification before treatment matters.

Pre-Authorisation for Certain Treatments

Some dental procedures — especially complex treatments — may require pre-authorisation before treatment begins. This helps confirm what is covered and reduces claim disputes later.

Insurers & Programmes Supported Under Alliance Medinet

Alliance Medinet partners with multiple insurers and corporate programmes in Singapore. Depending on your employer benefits, your dental coverage may be administered through Alliance Medinet under one of the following:

Commonly Supported Insurers & Programmes

• Cigna

• Great Eastern

• HSBC Life

• Income (i-MediCare)

• Pacific Prime CXA

• Singlife

• Tokio Marine

• Mercer Marsh — elevAte Programme

Auto-Included Institutions

Eligibility, cashless access, and treatment limits vary by insurer and employer plan. Always verify before your appointment.

Alliance Medinet vs Self-Claim Dental Insurance

Understanding the difference helps set expectations:

Feature	Alliance Medinet	Self-Claim Insurance
Payment at clinic	Cashless (if eligible)	Pay first
Claim submission	Clinic → Alliance Medinet	Patient → insurer
Convenience	High	Moderate
Clinic choice	Panel-based	Wider
Coverage rules	Plan-dependent	Plan-dependent

Both systems can work well — the key difference is who submits the claim and when payment happens.
