1. Brunei Hospital Care. If you seek care (including attendance at the Emergency Department in KB or BSB) or have therapy planned (e.g. surgery) in Brunei hospitals without having gone via or having informed the PCMF as soon as practicable, please note that you will likely not be eligible for having this treatment funded. If you are in in this category, please inform the PCMF at the earliest opportunity. For out-of-hours presentations or admission to Brunei hospitals, please call the PCMF Duty Nurse as your first point of contact at: +673 8330246. For less urgent cases, please book an appointment through the PCMF reception. You need to keep the PCMF informed otherwise you may have to pay the hospital bill.
2. Overseas Hospital Care (leave/travel). When you receive medical treatment away from an MOD approved setting (e.g. on leave in the UK or Nepal) this should be for emergency management only and not for routine care. Where you have received care away from the PCMF - please ensure that you inform the PCMF on return from leave or sooner depending on the severity/urgency. Please make every effort to collect healthcare records (notes, scans, prescriptions etc) from your attendance, so that these can be reviewed and recorded at the PCMF. Routine care should wait and be delivered through the PCMF. Do not seek medical care when you are on leave unless it is an emergency.
