I've used up my Flexi-MediSave limit of $400, but my spouse needs medical treatment too. Can I use my MediSave for his/her medical bills?

Q: I've used up my Flexi-MediSave limit of $400, but my spouse needs medical treatment too. Can I use my MediSave for his/her medical bills?

Seniors aged 60 and older can use up to $400 per year under Flexi-MediSave for their own outpatient treatments, using their own MediSave or their spouse’s MediSave (spouse has to be aged 60 and older too). If a senior has already used up their own $400 limit for outpatient treatments, they may still use their MediSave savings to pay for their spouse’s outpatient treatments, subject to the spouse’s $400 limit. The $400 withdrawal limit applies to each patient per year , regardless whose MediSave account is used.
