MediShield Life is a basic health insurance scheme for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents, designed to cover subsidised bills, i.e. hospitalisations in Class B2/C wards, and outpatient treatments and day surgeries in public healthcare institutions.

 

Non-subsidised bills will be pro-rated before the claims under MediShield Life are computed.

 

Similarly, Permanent Residents will also have their bills pro-rated before claims under MediShield Life are computed. The applicable pro-ration factors are shown in the table below.
