I am or my household is overseas but have a local NRIC address, should I inform Ministry of Health?
The Ministry of Health (MOH) will assess you and your household members' subsidy eligibility for MediShield Life and / or CareShield Life Premium Subsidies based on your residential address as reflected on your NRIC.
Please note that if you/your household member has confirmed with MOH as being overseas, MOH will not be able to automatically determine your/your household member’s eligibility for the Premium Subsidies under MediShield Life and/or CareShield Life, as they do not have the relevant information about the Annual Value (AV) of your overseas residence and income abroad. Overseas Singaporeans could submit sufficient documentation to MOH to assess their eligibility for the Premium Subsidies prior to the applicable policy year. Please submit your request through this online form or call our hotline at 1800-222-3399 if calling from Singapore / +65 6222 3399 if calling from overseas for more information.
If you / your family member is overseas for studies or will be returning soon, you may wish to retain him as part of your household. There is no need to inform MOH that you / your family member is overseas.
