I am using a GIRO arrangement to pay my MediShield Life premiums. What happens to my GIRO when I upgrade to an Integrated Shield Plan?
If you have applied for GIRO arrangement for your MediShield Life/ CareShield Life/ ElderShield premiums and upgrade to an Integrated Shield Plan (IP) subsequently, the GIRO arrangement for your MediShield Life premiums will cease. Your existing GIRO arrangement for CareShield Life/ ElderShield premiums (if any) will remain unchanged. You will need to have a separate premium payment arrangement with the IP insurer.
 
If you switch back to MediShield Life subsequently and would like to use GIRO for your MediShield Life premiums, you must re-apply.
