Healthcare financing -Medishield/Life, etc

[RadX]

Thought I'd leave this post here from my post in other thread for those who are in medishield

 

 

ok i do my good deed here

 

For all of you all, your medishield, change to plan A immed......it really saves your pocket. Gahmen puts u on plan b by default. However, you co pay 80%. With just additional loading of not much ALL FR MEDISAVE, and you upgrade to Plan A, you co pay 10%

 

for example, each dialysis session costs $200.....i only pay $20. And monthly it all comes from my medisave...i DUN PAY A CENT. If not u think i can drive my car now?? most prolly not

 

so do yourselves and family a good deed. Call the insurance that services your medishield, either income or GE, and change NOW! u never know when u need it. I am glad i changed when i was healthy..phew!

radx, how to do I find out I'm under which plan? Must call up income, GE or Prudential to find out? or can find out from CPF Singpass login?

 

Understand your dialysis cost, cause my late dad was a renal failure patient too and hooked to the machine 3 time per week for 20 over years before his heart gave up during one of the dialysis session.

My cpf online says I have one "Medisave-approved Private Integrated Shield plan with Prudential Assurance Company Singapore (Pte) Limited." , Is this the plan A? This one sold to me by my insurance agent friend, deduct from medisave, and additional cash payment for rider.

From memory, There should be 3 plan, the highest is don't need to pay a single cent, you have any idea how whether u have to pay?

 

 

[Astro]

Not entirely true cuase the co-pay element should be in the range of 10-20% and not the other way round. 80% is too much...
