    Booking Protection

    Every clinic here signs seven promises, and stands behind all seven.

    A real clinic. A licensed doctor. Genuine products. The price you were quoted. No pressure to decide today. These are things good clinics already do, so they are glad to put their names to them. And they back that signature with a guarantee: if a promise is not kept, you are refunded in full, up to RM10,000.

    The difference

    Walking in alone vs walking in protected

    Booking direct
    • You verify the licence yourself, if you know where to look
    • The quote, the standards, the promises: all verbal, nothing on record
    • No one has signed anything, so there is nothing to hold anyone to
    • If something goes wrong, it's your word against theirs
    Booking through BookAClinic
    • Licences checked against government registries before we list anyone
    • Your quote is honoured, in writing
    • Fair selling isn't a courtesy. It's signed, in writing
    • If anything goes wrong, we mediate, and your money is protected up to RM10,000

    Same clinic. Same treatment. Only one of these ways leaves you covered.

    Am I covered?

    Three things make you protected. That's it.

    No forms, no fine-print maze. If these three things are true, your booking is covered.

    Condition 1

    Book through BookAClinic

    We arrange the appointment, so your booking and the clinic's signed standards are on record. Walk-ins and direct bookings are between you and the clinic, and we can't protect those.

    Condition 2

    Get your confirmation before you walk in

    We send a written Booking Protection confirmation on WhatsApp before your visit. That message is your proof of cover. Haven't received it? Message us and we'll send it, don't walk in without it.

    Condition 3

    Tell us within 14 days

    If something felt wrong, tell us within 14 days of your visit and keep your payment receipt. The receipt is how we confirm exactly what you paid, so we can mediate.

    The one rule people miss: no confirmation, no protection. It takes us seconds to send. If your visit is tomorrow and you don't have it yet, WhatsApp us now.

    What every clinic promises

    Seven promises. One signed agreement.

    Good clinics don't ask you to take their word for it, and neither do we. Four promises are checked against official government records before we list anyone. Three are conduct rules every verified clinic puts its name to, in writing. Not every clinic can sign this agreement. That is the point.

    Checked against government recordsYou can verify every one of these yourself
    Standard 01

    A real, registered clinic

    The clinic is a licensed private medical facility, registered with the Ministry of Health. Not a beauty salon doing medical work, not a backroom operation.

    Act 586 registration · CKAPSCheck it yourself →
    Standard 02

    A licensed doctor

    The doctor is fully registered to practise medicine in Malaysia, with a practising certificate that is current, not expired.

    MMC registration · valid APCSearch the MMC register →
    Standard 03

    Licensed for your exact treatment

    The doctor treating you, or the doctor supervising them in the room, holds the specific aesthetic credential for the procedure you booked. Not just 'a doctor at the clinic has it'. Yours does.

    Procedure-matched LCP · valid 3 yearsWhat is an LCP →
    Standard 04

    Genuine, legal products

    No fake cartridges, no mystery injectables, no grey-market machines. Everything used on you is registered and traceable, and we spot-check clinics to keep it that way.

    MDA devices · NPRA injectablesVerify a device →
    Signed in a binding agreementConduct rules with real consequences
    Standard 05

    The price quoted is the price paid

    Your final price is confirmed after the doctor sees you, and stays within the range you were quoted. If your condition genuinely needs more, the clinic explains why and you agree in writing before anything happens. No surprises at the counter.

    Standard 06

    No pressure selling

    No 'today only' prices. No discounts that vanish if you leave the room. For anything above RM1,000, you can ask for a written quote to take home, the clinic must give it, and the price stays valid for at least 14 days. Sleep on it. The deal will still be there.

    Standard 07

    Your booking, honoured

    You get the treatment you booked at the price you were shown. The only exception: if the doctor decides the treatment isn't right for you, they explain why, and you pay nothing beyond the consultation fee. Your photos are never used in marketing without your written consent.

    How the badge stays meaningful

    Licences are re-checked every year, and we run mystery patient visits. Verified clinics welcome this, because the checks are exactly what separate them from clinics that couldn't pass. That is why the badge means something.

    If something goes wrong

    What happens when you raise a claim

    You never have to handle it alone. Here is the exact path, with dates.

    Within 14 days of your visit

    You tell us on WhatsApp

    Send us what happened and your receipt. That's it. We take it from there, in writing, so there's a record of everything.

    Days 1 to 14

    We mediate, fairly and quickly

    We sit between you and the clinic, neutrally. Most issues turn out to be misunderstandings and end here, resolved directly. Where we find a standard was broken, you are refunded the full amount you paid for the affected treatment.

    Day 14

    We decide, and the decision binds the clinic

    If it isn't resolved in 14 days, we rule on the evidence. If a standard was broken, the clinic must pay you directly within 7 days. If no standard was broken, we tell you honestly why, and the matter closes.

    If your payment is ever delayed

    We pay you ourselves

    Up to RM10,000, straight to you, so you are never left waiting on anyone. We settle it with the clinic afterwards. This step exists so your money is never in question, whatever happens behind the scenes.

    Two commitments stand between you and being left out of pocket: the clinic's signed obligation, and ours.

    The honest list

    What is protected, and what isn't

    We protect the promises a clinic can control. We can't promise you'll love your results, and no honest platform can.

    You're covered if

    • The clinic wasn't validly registered with the Ministry of Health
    • The doctor wasn't licensed, or their practising certificate had expired
    • The doctor treating you (or supervising in the room) didn't hold the credential for your exact procedure
    • A procedure that legally needs a doctor was done without one
    • A counterfeit, expired, or unregistered product or device was used on you
    • You were charged outside the quoted range without agreeing in writing first
    • You were pushed with a 'pay today or lose the price' tactic outside a published promotion
    • You asked for a written quote above RM1,000 and were refused, or the quote wasn't honoured within 14 days
    • Your booked treatment was refused without the doctor explaining why, or you were charged beyond the consultation fee when it was

    You're not covered for

    • Results you're unhappy with, when the care itself was proper
    • Normal variation in how treatments turn out
    • Complications that can happen even with correct, compliant care
    • Bookings made directly with the clinic, not through us
    • Visits that went ahead without our written confirmation
    • Claims raised more than 14 days after your visit

    We can promise the clinic is real, the doctor is licensed, the products are genuine, and the pricing is fair. If any of that fails, we step in.

    Who pays for this?

    Not you. Not now, not ever.

    A fair question deserves a straight answer. Here is exactly how the money works.

    Your booking

    You pay the clinic's own price

    The price on your quote is the clinic's price. Booking through us adds nothing to your bill. Not a booking fee, not a markup, not a 'service charge'. RM0.

    Your protection

    The clinic funds the protection

    If a standard is broken, compensation comes from the responsible clinic under the agreement it signed. Good clinics sign it willingly, because they never expect it to be used. Either way, it is never funded by patients.

    Your claim

    Every ringgit goes to you

    We take nothing out of a refund or a payout. If you're owed RM3,000, you receive RM3,000. Claiming is free, mediation is free, and there is nothing to buy.

    We built BookAClinic because patients had no one checking these things for them. Protection is free for patients, it always will be, and there is no catch to go looking for.

    A partnership, not a policing

    Why good clinics signed this

    It separates them

    Any clinic can claim high standards. Verified clinics prove theirs against government records, so patients can tell the difference.

    Patients arrive already trusting them

    A booking-protected patient walks in with the checking already done. No suspicion to overcome, no guard up in the room. The consultation starts from trust, which is better medicine for everyone.

    It protects them too

    We mediate every dispute neutrally and screen out bad-faith complaints. A clinic that upheld the standards has us confirming exactly that, on the record.

    They already work this way

    Nothing in the seven standards is new to a well-run clinic. Signing simply puts on paper what they already practise every day.

    The badge

    Look for BAC Verified

    Every protected clinic carries this badge, showing when its credentials were last checked. It is not a one-time stamp: we re-check every clinic's licences yearly, suspend the badge the moment one lapses, and send mystery patients to make sure the room matches the promise.

    The dispute-free line stays on a clinic's profile only for as long as it is true. The day it isn't, it comes down.

    The badge cannot be bought, sponsored, or negotiated. It is earned by passing the checks, and kept by continuing to pass them. That is why patients look for it, and why the clinics that carry it are proud to.

    Questions

    Good questions, honest answers

    Is this insurance?+
    No. There's no policy and nothing to buy. Every verified clinic signs a binding agreement that obliges it to compensate you if a standard is broken. If the clinic fails to pay, we pay you directly, up to RM10,000 per eligible booking, and recover it from the clinic.
    Do you make money from my booking?+
    Not from you, ever. Patients pay nothing to BookAClinic, and you pay the clinic's own price, the same as walking in yourself. Our job is connecting patients with clinics worth trusting. Your refunds and payouts are never touched, and nothing is ever added to your bill.
    Do you always side with the patient?+
    No, and that's the point. We rule on evidence against the seven standards, not on who shouts loudest. If the clinic did everything right, we'll tell you honestly that no protection applies, and why. That fairness is exactly why good clinics sign, and why the badge is worth trusting.
    Does this guarantee my results will be good?+
    No, and be wary of anyone who guarantees results. Medicine doesn't work that way. What we guarantee is everything a clinic can control: real registration, licensed doctors, genuine products, honest pricing, and no pressure tactics. If any of those fail, you're covered.
    How do I make sure I'm eligible?+
    Three things: book through BookAClinic, have our written WhatsApp confirmation before you walk in, and raise any claim within 14 days of your visit with your receipt. That's the whole list, and it's spelled out in the full terms.
    What if my payment is delayed?+
    Then we pay you ourselves, up to RM10,000, and settle it with the clinic afterwards. You are never the one left waiting. In practice, nearly everything resolves in mediation, because verified clinics have every reason to make things right directly.
    How long does a claim take?+
    Mediation runs a maximum of 14 days from the day you raise it. If it isn't resolved by then, we make a binding decision, and any payment owed to you is due within 7 days after that.
    The doctor said my booked treatment isn't right for me. What now?+
    That's the system working. The doctor must explain why, and you pay nothing beyond the consultation fee that was disclosed before booking. They may suggest an alternative, and you're free to say no and walk away.
    I'm travelling to Malaysia for treatment. Does this cover me?+
    Yes. The protection follows the booking, not your passport. Book through us, have your confirmation before the visit, and raise any claim within 14 days, from anywhere. Everything runs on WhatsApp, so distance doesn't matter.
    Can I verify the clinic myself?+
    Please do. Every registry we check is public, and we link to each one next to the standard it verifies above. You can also use our free doctor certification checker any time.

    For clinics

    The badge cannot be bought. It can only be earned.

    If you already run your clinic the way these seven standards describe, verification changes nothing about how you practise. It changes who walks through your door: patients who arrive with the checking already done, ready to trust the room. And it puts clear water between you and every operator who could never sign this.

    We are onboarding a founding cohort of verified clinics now. The clinics that join earliest will have carried the badge the longest.

    Booking Protection applies to eligible bookings made through BookAClinic, confirmed in writing before your visit, for breaches of the Certified Standards, up to RM10,000 per eligible booking. It is a contractual remedy funded by the clinic and facilitated by BookAClinic. It is not insurance and does not guarantee any clinical outcome. Claims must be raised within 14 days of your visit.
