Eligible seniors will get between S$200 and S$900 each.
MediSave can be used to pay the premiums for MediShield Life, CareShield Life, ElderShield and other MediSave-approved insurance plans, as well as medical expenses such as hospitalisation, day surgeries, and selected outpatient treatments, said both ministries.Pioneers will receive MediSave top-ups of between S$250 and S$900 each year.
The additional top-up was announced by MOH in December 2020, as part of its commitment"to keep premiums affordable for our Pioneers who have generally accumulated less MediSave than younger Singaporeans", they added.With the enhancements, those aged 89 and above in 2023"will continue to see their MediShield Life premiums fully covered", while those who are younger will have about two-thirds covered, said the ministries.
The Merdeka generation package was introduced in 2019 to support seniors in staying"active and healthy and provides them with greater assurance over their healthcare costs in their silver years", the ministries said. Merdeka Generation seniors include those who were born between Jan 1, 1950 and Dec 31, 1959, and became Singapore citizens on or before Dec 31, 1996.
