Financial Subsidies
MediSave
Payment for hospitalisation charges may be made through MediSave. Please inform our staff if you intend to use MediSave. You will need to sign a MediSave Authorisation Form authorising the CPF Board to withdraw funds from your MediSave account for approved treatment. You can also log on to your HealthHub App/Website with your SingPass to submit your authorisation online.

MediShield Life
MediShield Life is a basic health insurance, administered by the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Board. The objective is to help pay for large hospital bills and selected costly outpatient treatments, such as dialysis and chemotherapy for cancer.
MediShield Life will provide coverage for large hospital bills in subsidized wards. Patients who choose to stay in Class A/B1 wards are still covered by MediShield Life. However, the MediShield Life payout may cover a small proportion of the bill. Patients may need to pay more from MediSave and/or cash if they do not have a Integrated Shield Plan.
