You can use Medisave to pay for your child’s hospitalisation and certain approved outpatient treatment expenses incurred at any participating restructured or private hospitals in Singapore. The use of Medisave is subjected to withdrawal limits.

A prolonged illness requiring long-term medical treatment could deplete your Medisave Account. Stretch your Medisave dollars by ensuring that the basic healthcare needs for you and your family are being covered under MediShield. It is a low cost medical insurance that can help cover a portion of the medical expenses when the need arises.

Eligible newborns will be extended a MediShield cover. It is advisable that you do not opt your child out of MediShield. MediShield helps meet the costs of treatment for serious illnesses or prolonged hospitalisation expenses in Class C or B2 ward levels at restructured hospitals.

 

For premiums as low as S$33 per year, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your child’s healthcare needs are well taken care of.
