名词

为公积金会员设立的基本医疗保险计划。

DEFINITION

Noun

A basic health insurance plan set up for Central Provident Fund (CPF) members.

由来
  • 除了让会员使用保健储蓄(Medisave)支付医疗费用,公积金局在1990年推出了健保双全(MediShield)。这是一份基本医疗保险,主要帮助公积金会员与他们的家属,能够支付因患有严重病症或慢性病的医疗费用。所有年龄在80岁以下的公积金会员都受保。
  • 在健保双全计划下,如果受保人在保单年度中要向健保双全索赔,必须先支付一笔固定款项,也称自付额(Deductible)。之后受保人只需支付20%的可索赔金额,其余的80%则由健保双全支付。
  • 受保人必须支付索赔额,也称共同承担保险(Co-insurance)。支付索赔额后,健保双全的健保服务将正式启用。
  • 从2015年起11月1日起,终身健保(MediShield Life)取代了健保双全,不论年龄或健康状况,同样让公积金会员(新加坡公民与永久居民)自动受保,不需要申请。
ETYMOLOGY
  • In addition to allowing members to pay for medical expenses using Medisave, the CPF Board rolled out MediShield in 1990. This is a basic health insurance plan which covers medical fees for CPF members and their family members who are under the age of 80 and suffer from serious or chronic illnesses.
  • Under the MediShield Scheme, if the insured wants to make a MediShield claim in the policy year, they must first pay a fixed amount known as Deductible. The insured only needs to pay 20% of the claimable amount and the remaining 80% can be paid with MediShield.
  • The insured must pay a certain claim amount known as Co-insurance. After paying the amount, the healthcare service under MediShield will be activated officially.
  • From 1 November 2015 onwards, MediShield Life replaced MediShield, automatically covering all CPF Members (Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents), without the need for application regardless of their age or health condition.
