Your questions answered
1. What is MediShield Life?
MediShield Life is a compulsory basic health insurance plan that provides Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents with universal and lifelong protection against large hospital bills, regardless of age or health condition.
MediShield Life is sized for subsidised Class B2/C bills in public hospitals and pegged at B2/C-type wards. Hence if you choose to stay in a higher hospital ward class such as A/B1-type ward or in a private hospital, MediShield Life payout will cover only a proportion of your bill and you would need to draw on your MediSave funds and/or cash to pay the balance.
You may consider getting an Integrated Shield Plan to enhance your MediShield Life coverage if you want higher benefit limits and have a preference for a better hospital ward class.
2. What is GREAT SupremeHealth?
GREAT SupremeHealth is an Integrated Shield Plan that provides higher coverage and benefits that are not included under MediShield Life.
GREAT SupremeHealth is made up of 2 components:
· MediShield Life portion managed by the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Board, and
· additional private insurance coverage provided by The Great Eastern Life Assurance Company Limited.
By purchasing GREAT SupremeHealth, you enjoy the combined benefits of MediShield Life and GREAT SupremeHealth. Your GREAT SupremeHealth premium includes both MediShield Life premium and the additional private insurance coverage premium.
3. MediShield Life covers me regardless of my health conditions, will GREAT SupremeHealth cover my pre-existing conditions too?
Universal healthcare coverage provided by MediShield Life protects Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents for life, regardless of pre-existing conditions. Such costs of covering pre-existing conditions are shared with the community with the Government supporting the cost of extending MediShield Life coverage to all Singapore Residents.
Unlike MediShield Life, Integrated Shield Plans such as GREAT SupremeHealth do not provide coverage for pre-existing conditions. Hence, these pre-existing conditions will continue to be excluded from the additional private insurance coverage portion under your GREAT SupremeHealth plan.
4. Which GREAT SupremeHealth plan should I purchase?
You should consider your medical care preferences before making a plan purchase, that includes ward preferences, ability to choose your preferred doctors or hospitals and the affordability of premiums over the longer-term. Do speak to our Financial Representative who will be able to share more about your options.
5. Can I use my MediSave funds to pay for GREAT SupremeHealth?
GREAT SupremeHealth is a MediSave-approved Integrated Shield plan and premiums are payable using your MediSave funds up to the additional withdrawal limits based on your age. Any premium excess would need to be paid in cash.
6. When can I buy GREAT SupremeHealth for my newborn?
Your newborn will need to be at least 15 days old or discharged from the hospital, whichever is later. The earlier you buy an Integrated Shield Plan for your newborn, the earlier he/she can benefit from the additional medical coverage should medical emergencies happen.
1. What is GREAT TotalCare?

1. What is Claims-Adjusted Pricing?
Claims-Adjusted Pricing (CAP) is only applicable to policyholders with GREAT TotalCare P and P-Select plans. CAP is an equitable and sustainable framework whereby the renewal premium for your GREAT TotalCare P or P-Select plan will be determined by your claims experience during the applicable period of assessment.
The CAP framework rewards customers for staying healthy and for their modest usage of healthcare services. Under this framework, policyholders can enjoy a 20% discount on their standard level premiums for each renewable year as long as they make no claims or have their medical treatments done in restructured hospitals. (including government-funded community hospital and inpatient palliative care institution).
