MediShield Life vs Integrated Plan (IP)

MediShild Life is expected to be launched in Dec 2015

Since MediShield in compulsory for Singapore Citizens and Singapore PR, should I terminate my Integrated Shield Plan I purchased with Private Insurers?

We are talking about 2 different level of coverage even though they may be s similar type of policies
ISP is covering Private hospital, A1 wards and B1 wards. Whereas, MediShield and MediShield covering only the heavily government subsidized (up to 80%) B2 and C wards.

Hence, if you have decided in advance to be warded into Private hospital, A1 or B1 ward should you be hospitalized, then you should not terminate your Integrated Plan and just take up MediShield Life.

As per the diagram above, I trust that it explained that MediShield Life will be embedded into the ISP. Hence, if you want a better coverage, you should stake to your ISP. The premium you paid to the Private insurer to purchase the ISP, partially will go to CPF board who managed MediShield Life and partially will go to Private insurers who managed the ISP.

If you have any question, please feel free to drop me a question in the comment box I will answer your question to help you to understand about MediShield Life and Integrated Plan (IP)
