Even with the increase in benefits under MediShield Life, there remains a cap on the MediShield Life payout. Is it possible to introduce a stop-loss feature to provide greater assurance to Singapore Residents?

MediShield Life is designed to be a basic scheme, with claim limits, deductible and co-insurance features to keep premiums affordable for all Singaporeans. In particular, co-insurance helps to reduce the propensity for over-consumption, over-servicing and over-charging which can arise when there is no co-payment required for medical treatment.
The co-insurance, deductible and amount above the claim limits can be paid through Medisave and cash. Today, about 8 in 10 Singaporeans pay little or not cash for their subsidised hospitalisation bills. Needy Singaporeans who are unable to pay their share of bills can seek MediFund assistance from the public hospitals.
