Using MediSave for your healthcare expenses

The MediSave savings you have accumulated can be used to pay for your own or your loved ones' healthcare expenses throughout your lifetime, even after you retire.

Using MediShield Life for large medical bills

Regardless of your age or health condition, you are protected against large medical bills under MediShield Life. It is generally sufficient for subsidised treatment in a public hospital.

Reviewing your healthcare coverage

If you have additional private healthcare insurance, review your coverage by considering your needs and the long-term affordability of the premiums as they increase substantially with age.

- Raphael Kang, 33, Financial Services
