FAQs
Can I use Medisave to cover the cost of my procedure?
Medisave can be used at all public and private healthcare institutions as long as you are a Singapore Citizen or a Permanent Resident in Singapore with an existing Medisave account.
The MediSave Withdrawal Limits are generally enough to cover the medical costs incurred if you stay in a B2 or C ward in a public hospital. However, if you opt to switch to a ward type (B1 and above) or to a private hospital, you may be required to fork out additional cash to settle the bill. However, Medisave can also be used to pay for specific investigations such as Gastroscopy or Colonoscopy if you are experiencing discomfort or suspect that you may have a condition that needs to be diagnosed.
The amount claimable from Medisave is $650 for gastroscopy and between a range of $950 to $1,550 for colonoscopy. Do note that this figure depends on whether any polyps have been removed during the procedure.

I have a Shield Plan, and my employer also has a medical insurance plan, who do I claim from first?
In general, you can submit your claims to multiple insurers, but the total payout from the combination of policies is limited to your actual medical expenses. Due to claims-based pricing from some IP insurers, you should claim from other insurances first (e.g. employers’ group medical insurance, personal hospital income insurance, etc). This may vary significantly from individual to individual, please discuss your personal circumstances with your insurer or financial adviser.
Will my insurance still be able to cover my healthcare expenses at a different hospital?
Medical insurance coverage will differ depending on the patient’s medical insurance and their company’s medical insurance (if any).
