For the minority of patients whose subsidised bills exceed the claim limit, they will still receive payouts from MediShield Life up to the relevant claim limit.  

 

Examples of the claim limits that will be increased: 

• Intensive Care Unit ward from $2,200 to $5,140 
• Policy year claim limit from $150,000 to $200,000 

Those who have difficulty affording their bills after subsidies, MediShield Life and MediSave can also apply for financial assistance such as MediFund by approaching the Medical Social Workers at the MediFund-approved institution at which the treatment is received, or appeal to MOH at 1800 222 3399 or write to them at moh_qsm@moh.gov.sg for MediSave use beyond limits.
