IP

Integrated Shield Plan (IP)

An Integrated Shield Plan (IP) combines MediShield Life with an additional private insurance coverage component provided by a private insurer.

Do you need supplementary coverage?

Things to consider

You do not need an IP if you prefer Class B2 and C ward in public hospitals which provide heavy subsidies of up to 80% for Singaporeans.

Two-third of patients who are hospitalised opt for Class B2 and C wards (six to 10 bedders) in public hospitals. MediShield Life provides sufficient coverage for your large Class B2 and C bills.

 

If you prefer Class A and B1 wards (one to four bedders) in public hospitals or private hospitals, or to choose your own doctors, IP can offer supplementary coverage. Choose a plan which you can afford and meet your needs.

Can you afford IP premiums in the long run, as premiums rise substantially with age?

Your additional private insurance premiums could be up to four times of your MediShield Life premiums when you are in your 80s.

 

You’ll need to ensure that you can afford the higher premiums especially at older ages when you have stopped working. 

MediShield Life can cover your healthcare needs. Can you afford to pay cash for IP premiums which exceed the Additional Withdrawal Limits (AWLs)?

MediShield Life premiums can be fully paid with MediSave. You can only use MediSave up to the AWLs to pay for the IP premiums. Premiums above the AWLs will have to be paid in cash.

 

You’ll need to consider if you can afford to top up the differences in cash, especially at older ages when you have stopped working.

IP vs MediShield Life

When deciding on a health insurance coverage, make sure you understand the differences in coverage, premiums, and claim limits.

Do you need to enhance your existing coverage?

If you need  supplementary coverage or benefits on top of your existing coverage, you may consider purchasing a Supplement plan. 

 

You may discuss with your financial advisor on your healthcare and financial planning.

Supplements can only be bought by existing CareShield Life or ElderShield policyholders.

Coverages across different insurers
