Medishield Coverage for Newborns?

In this series, financial adviser Ms Phylise Er Jia Li answers some of the common questions first-time parents have regarding insurance plans and policies.

Medishield Coverage for Newborns?Q: Is there Medishield coverage for newborns?

A: Since 1 December 2007, all newborn Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PRs) will be offered MediShield coverage on an opt-out basis.

28 OCTOBER 2007 – mycpf.cpf.gov.sg/CPF/News/News-Release/N_28Oct2007.htm

Medishield offers basic protection which may not be sufficient to address the high medical costs associated with major illnesses or accidents. Private “as charge” shield plans help to expand your basic MediShield coverage. Consult your financial adviser representative. He/she will be able to make the recommendations based on your preference, objective and financial situation.
