MediSave is primarily designed to help Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents set aside sufficient savings for their hospitalisation expenses and selected outpatient treatments such as cancer treatments that are more expensive in nature.

The minimum MediSave Account balance of $5,000 is to help individuals maintain some savings to pay for their other healthcare bills.

[If Patient is married]

You may wish to tap on your spouse’s MediSave account to supplement your MediSave Care withdrawals.
