How to utilise your Medisave and/or Medishield?
Payment is required upon completion of each visit at Singapore Sports and Orthopaedic Clinic. If you were to utilise your Medisave and/ or Medishield, the amount claimable will be in the form of re-imbursments by cheque.
Our clinic will assist you with the process of utilising your Medisave and/ or Medishield. In order to do so, you will need to provide us with the following:
1) Photocopies of patient’s and ^Medisave Account Holder’s NRICs
2) Information on your Medishield plan i.e. type of plan and name of insurer. Please bring along your CPF statement
3) Completed Medisave Authorisation Form for Outpatient Treatment
Singapore Sports and Orthopaedic Clinic will submit the information together with the invoices to the relevant parties. No further action will be required on your part.
Please note:
The bill will be paid by MediShield first before Medisave is withdrawn to settle the balance. The Medisave and MediShield claim cannot exceed the total bill.
It can only be used as in-patient which means it can only be used as subsidise for hospitalisation cases only.
^ If you do not have enough Medisave savings, you can use your immediate family members’ Medisave savings. Withdrawal limit is based on per patient.
