MediSave cannot be used to pay for the cost of the disability assessments. However, CareShield Life and MediSave Care will share the same disability assessment, so that the costs of the first disability assessment will be waived, and subsequent assessments for CareShield Life insureds will be fully reimbursed if the claim outcome is successful.

For severely disabled individuals who are applying to withdraw from their MediSave but who are not CareShield Life insureds, assessment fees will be fully reimbursed by the Government if the application outcome is successful.
