Supplements

Your option for supplements

Supplementary coverage is optional and comes at an additional cost. Do consider the long-term affordability of the premiums before your purchase.

Integrated Shield Plans (IPs)

Two-thirds of patients opt for Class B2 and C wards in public hospitals and are adequately covered with MediShield Life. Thus, you may not need to buy a supplement.

If you need to stay in a private class ward or choose your doctors, and you’re able to afford higher premiums, you may choose a supplementary plan that meets your needs.

Long-term care supplements

If you need supplementary coverage and you're able to afford the additional premiums, you may consider purchasing a ElderShield/CareShield Life supplement from selected private insurers.
