Q: I am already covered by my company's medical insurance plan. How can I benefit from MediShield?
A: MediShield provides you with financial protection even when you are not working, while your company's medical insurance plan only covers you for as long as you are with the company.

A: CPF members and their dependants who are Singaporeans or Singapore Permanent Residents can be covered under MediShield up to 85 years old.
