There is no government-funded plan for health care services in Malaysia. Fees at the former are minimal and accessible to the general public, although waiting lists are in order.
Private insurance covers mainly hospital procedures and stays.
Some patients claim to be able to get limited coverage of chiropractic services from their private health care insurance. The practice of chiropractic is not illegal, although the government has not established any acts for alternative medicine. There are many alternative health care groups able to practice in Malaysia, providing that their businesses are properly registered with the local government and all taxes are paid. Currently there is no legislation regulating the scope of practice in Malaysia. These have proven very successful in educating the public about chiropractic philosophy and the need for official scope of practice regulations.
