健保双全计划(MediShield)

Poolman SG

Let me share a story .

I was lucky .

My late father was diagnosed with cancer a few years back .

before he diagnosed with cancer , CPF sent him a letter , to encourage him to sign up Medishield , deducting about $400 a year from his medisave .

Since my father has got so much to spare , why not ? He signed up .

After a few months he signed up , he was disgnosed with cancer .

Can you imagine the cost of those surgeries , medicine , hospitalisations needed if i need to fork out cash ?

It's a cool $28,000 plus .

We were worried , very worried .

My family even sat down to discuss how to share those burden among us .

But in the end ?

All those medical fee was bore by Medisave and most important Medishields !

This Medishields saved our ass , really !

My brother handled all related issues , i never heard from anyone that we pay massive cash for my father .

Why am i telling you this ?

I like to recommend you guys to sign up Medishield as fast as possible .

Try your best to sign up one .

All premium is standard one .

Insured by Great Eastern .

Nothing more than $500 per year , all deducted from your Medisave .

How important ?

It is very important .

Do visit cpf.gov.sg to read more about Medishield .

Some told me it is automatic , but i did signed up a form to authorise them to deduct amount from my medisave .

And i think i will visit CPF to confirm about my status about Medishield .

I think i received a letter from CPF at the age of 40 .

This policy is cater for citizens above 40 .

If u are 40 and above , and are not sure about your status , make a point to ask from CPF or check online if u have password for Singpass .

If anyone here do know more about utilising our Medisave , do share with us .

Remember , once u are protected by medishield , u won't be a burden to your family .

For once , i have to thank Kaw Boon Wan on this .

U can say what u want about Kaw Boon Wan , to me , he deserved my respect on this .

Medisave also covers the following hospitalisation and other approved expenses:

And i thought all those medical cost are base on subsidised prices for all Singaporeans , not Specialist prices .

Recently my LV chief 07 , was down by heart attack , i was worried about him .

He told me he might need to do bypass surgeries .

I pray for him sia ..... report not out yet , i really hope no surgery needed .

knn he can still smoke happy sia .

Poolman SG

Now if u are past 40 , good time to sign up .

If u have enough funds in your medisave , sign up for it .

If u do not have enuf , ur wife medisave also can help you pay for it , if i am not wrong . Do check with CPF .

Remember , ur decision can be vital .

Ur one decision makes a difference to whether or not u will be a burden to your family ?

Year 2011 .... it's not a good year for me as far as life of a cabby is concern .

I seen and heard so many people with problems after driving a cab .

And some actually return their NRIC .

Poolman SG

I share what i know , i don't keep inside my pocket like many did .

U find any other taxi forums do that ?

Poolman SG

Remember , PAP won't help you when u are ill .

Taxi companies will still take your taxi rental when u are ill .

NTA will only sent you fruits hamper when u are ill , and u still need to be their member to receive the fruits hamper .

Your best taxi kaki will not have enough to give you a loan .

Help yourself .

Nobody can help you .

Ironically we have to thanks to PAP's Mr Kaw Boon Wan on this .

Poolman SG

Medisave is not enough , never enough .

Medishield is far far more important .

Can i use my medisave to sign up for my father pool? he dont have cpf at all..

Fwahhh SG

Now CPF outsource medishield to commercial insurance providers like NTUC, Manual Life and some others. There are a few plans to choose from that can be deducted from medisave.

One scenario my friend experienced was not able to claim when he bought his long ago with one insurance provider. He did a 'Key-hole' operation which was not included in the plan that was purchased years ago. He may have to fork out 7-10k, still fighting the case, out of his pocket. So those bought some time ago, make sure you check that your plan is updated or upgrade to current medical status where all hospitalisation is covered. Especially when there are new surgery procedures not included last time.
