Income has withdrawn these 4 riders for new applications of Enhanced IncomeShield, IncomeShield and IncomeShield Standard Plan as of 1 March 2019 – Plus Rider, Assist Rider, Daily Cash Rider and Child Illness Rider.

Under the guidelines stipulated by the Ministry of Health (MOH), all Integrated Shield Plan (IP) insurers are to incorporate co-payment features in new IP riders. This is aligned with recommendations by the Health Insurance Task Force (HITF) to encourage all stakeholders to play a more active role in managing their medical care costs, and are part of collective efforts to ensure that medical care and health insurance remain accessible and sustainable in Singapore.

MOH has developed a Cancer Drug List (CDL) comprising clinically proven and more cost-effective cancer treatments. From 1 September 2022, MediShield Life (MSHL) and MediSave (MSV) will only cover treatments on the CDL. We have introduced a new Additional Cancer Drug Treatment benefit for your Plus Rider and Assist Rider from 1 April 2023 to supplement your coverage on outpatient cancer drug treatments.

Co-payment Co-payment

Policyholders will need to co-pay 5% of the benefits due under their policy. 

 

Co-payment capCo-payment cap

A co-payment cap of $3,000 each policy year will be applied if policyholders seek treatment from the insurer’s preferred healthcare providers or if the treatment has been pre-authorised. The co-payment cap will not be applicable to outpatient cancer drug treatments not on the CDL.
