I already have an Integrated Shield Plan. How is MediShield Life relevant to me?

Question

Accepted Answer

Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) comprise 2 components (i) the MediShield Life component, and (ii) the additional private insurance component that provides greater coverage intended to cover unsubsidised bills, such as those incurred from Ward A/B1 stays in public hospitals or private hospital stays.

If you have an IP, you already have MediShield Life, as MediShield Life is a component of your IP.

MediShield Life will cover all pre-existing conditions, even if they are excluded by your private insurer from the additional private insurance coverage of your IP. Should you decide to terminate your IP one day, you will remain covered by MediShield Life.
