Patients may use Medisave, the Singaporean national medical savings scheme, as well as the Medishield Life, a Central Provident Fund (CPF) administered basic health insurance plan, to cover the medical bills at Changi General Hospital.
Coverage of MediShield Life
MediShield Life coverage is for subsidised treatment in public hospitals. As MediShield Life payouts are pegged at Class B2/C wards, the MediShield Life payout will make up a small proportion of the bill only. The patient may therefore need to pay more of their bill from Medisave and/or cash.
Coverage for Private Medical Insurance
Private Medical Insurance is a scheme which allows CPF members to use their Medisave savings to buy Medisave-approved Integrated Shield Plans for themselves and their dependents.
Dependents refer to a member’s parents, spouse, children and grandparents. Premiums can be paid from your Medisave account, with a limit of S$800 per annum per person, or S$1150 for those above 80 years old.
