What is the difference between MediShield Life and CareShield Life?
Both MediShield Life and CareShield Life are insurance plans, but they serve different purposes. They complement each other in providing lifetime protection against different types of healthcare expenses.
MediShield Life helps to pay for large hospital bills and selected costly outpatient treatments such as dialysis and chemotherapy for cancer. Whereas CareShield Life provides cash payouts to help severely disabled individuals with their long-term care costs.
