MediSave is a national medical savings scheme that helps individuals set aside part of their income to pay for their personal or approved dependents' hospitalisations, day surgeries and selected outpatient treatments.
MediSave withdrawal limits have been carefully set to ensure that Singaporeans have sufficient savings in their MediSave Account for their basic healthcare needs. The withdrawal limits are generally adequate to cover most of the charges incurred at subsidised inpatient wards and outpatient treatments.
The Ministry of Health has introduced 2 Medical Claims Authorization Forms (MCAF).
MCAF-M (Multiple)
MCAF-M allows you to grant full consent to use your MediSave at all MediSave accredited healthcare institutions.
MCAF-M provides ease as you simply need to sign once, for life, unless revoked.
MCAF-S (Single)
MCAF-S allows you to decide and provide limited consent on the utilisation of your MediSave.
You can choose to limit the type of schemes and/or the period which you would like to authorise for Medisave to be used.
To apply for use of Medisave for a deceased patient, kindly attach a copy of death certificate, a copy of the applicant's NRIC and indicate the applicant's relationship to the patient.
To find out more about filling up your MCAF-S form, you can download the User Guide here [1mb, PDF].
You can find out about using MediSave for your inpatient and outpatient care on Ministry of Health's website.
