Update: MediShield Life Premiums Set to Rise from April 2025
Mar 03, 2025 1:43 pm
Hi ,
I hope you're doing well!
I wanted to update you on the upcoming MediShield Life premium revision, which will take effect from April 2025.
As a quick refresher, MediShield Life is Singapore’s national basic health insurance that covers B2/C wards in government hospitals. While it provides essential coverage, it has some limitations:
✅ Covers only inpatient bills (does NOT cover pre & post-hospitalization)
✅ Claim limits apply (unlike Integrated Shield Plans, which are "As Charged")
What’s Changing?
With the premium increase, coverage will also improve:
✔ Normal ward claim limit: $1,000/day → $1,630/day
✔ ICU claim limit: Doubles to $5,140/day
✔ Total annual claim limit: $150,000 → $200,000
✔ Deductibles increase: By up to $1,500, depending on age & ward class
How Does This Affect You?
Once you have an Integrated Shield Plan (IP) covering higher-class wards, these changes won’t impact you much, as MediShield Life helps offset part of the bill, and your IP covers the rest (after co-payment).
However, with the MediShield Life premium adjustment, some insurers have also revised their IP premiums. You may soon receive a letter from your insurer regarding this. Some insurers may have also reduced benefits or introduced new measures that require you to co-pay more.
Would you like to revisit your coverage to ensure you’re still getting the best protection at the right cost?
💬 Let’s schedule a quick call!
Just let me know a time that works for you.
Looking forward to catching up!
P.S. If you need help reviewing any of your family member's Shield Plans, please feel free to reach out! I would be happy to assist.
