are there.
MediShield is a basic health insurance scheme designed to help Singaporeans with the costs of subsidised Class B2/C bills at public hospitals. MediShield premiums can be paid through MediSave. The current MediSave withdrawal limits can fully cover basic MediShield premiums for policyholders across all age groups. MOH will continue to regularly review the MediShield and MediSave schemes, to ensure that healthcare remains affordable for Singaporeans.
