I am covered under CareShield Life. What is Additional Premium Support and who can qualify?

Additional Premium Support (APS) is designed to help Singaporeans who cannot afford CareShield Life/MediShield Life premiums even after premium subsidies and payment by MediSave and have insufficient family support to rely on.

This is to ensure that no Singaporeans will lose coverage due to financial difficulties.

Please note that you will not be eligible for APS if you have an additional private medical insurance cover under an Integrated Shield Plan and/or Supplements under CareShield Life/ElderShield. You will also not be eligible for APS if you are paying the premiums of someone else’s Integrated Shield Plan and/or Supplements under CareShield Life/ElderShield.
