The CareShield Life Council will regularly review the experience of the CareShield Life scheme and advise the Government on CareShield Life premium and payout adjustments in accordance with an actuarially sound adjustment framework. Regular reviews would be conducted on key assumptions such as morbidity experience, trends in mortality, rate of claims continuance etc. 

If the actual claims paid are higher than expected, the Council may recommend adjustments (e.g. increase the rate of premium increases or moderate the pace of payout increases) to ensure the scheme remains sustainable. 

The Government will consider affordability of premiums when reviewing the Council’s advice on premium adjustments.
