Echocardiogram Check

I went to Lifeline Heart Centre to do my Echocardiogram Check. The counter staff asked me to fill in the form, and do the preparation-  blood pressure check, weight and height check. After all the check, went into the room, take off clothes and lay on the bed. Doctor Jayaram Lingamanaicker came and do the check for me. He is very friendly and would explained the finding to me. I did not tell him what has happened to my heart and he already asked me is it related to mitral valve prolapse (MVP). As in the screen he able to see the valve and blood movement. He also say that the health insurance company will be relundance to insured if they know that the person has mitral valve prolapse.I told him that I am appealing to insurance company on my MVP case. He has done a thorough check on my heart and conclude that my MVP is trivial. To him, he will treat it as normal and no further treatment needed. All my other heart structure, valve , pressure are normal. He written a report on the finding and I send the necessary document to NTUC Income and waiting for their reply on my appeal.

Hi KC,

I came across your blog as I'm facing a similar situation currently with the same insurer. So wondering if your appeal was successful?
