Cancer Drug List

28 Sep 2022
In August 2021, MOH announced changes to the financing of outpatient cancer treatment to help ensure the cost of cancer treatments and insurance premiums remain affordable over time. 

The changes to MediShield Life (MSHL) and Medisave (MSV) were implemented on 1 September 2022, while the change to Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) will take effect from 1 April 2023, upon policy purchase or renewal. More details can be found here. An overview of the cancer financing changes can be found in this brochure.  

The Cancer Drug List below shows the outpatient cancer treatments that are claimable and the corresponding MSHL and MSV limits. IP claim limits are set by the private insurers. The subsidy classes in the CDL apply to drugs at public healthcare institutions. Drugs can be subsidised under the Standard Drug List (SDL) or Medication Assistance Fund (MAF). 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why are there changes to cancer treatment financing?

Before 1 September 2022, MediShield Life pays up to $3,000/month for all cancer drugs and Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) often cover costs above that on an as-charged basis (i.e. no limit), with a small co-payment. 

Such a design meant that drug companies had no incentive charge lower prices for drug treatments that cost less. As a result, we ended up paying higher prices for many cancer drugs compared to other countries such as Australia, South Korea and United Kingdom. 

The changes to cancer treatment financing allow us to negotiate lower prices for cancer drugs, and ensure that cancer treatment costs and insurance premiums remain affordable for Singapore Residents in the long term. 

How will the revised chemotherapy benefits impact my claims from 1 September 2022?

Each cancer drug treatment on the Cancer Drug List (CDL) will have its own MediShield Life claim limits and MediSave withdrawal limits. 

The list of cancer drug treatments that are claimable under MediShield Life and MediSave, and their respective claim and withdrawal limits can be found below. Please also consult your doctor if you wish to find out whether the treatment that you are undergoing is on the list. 

The CDL will only come into effect for Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) on 1 April 2023. If you have an IP, you will continue to be covered under your current policy terms until it is renewed on or after 1 April 2023. 

For example, if your IP is up for renewal on 1 November 2023, the CDL and its revised limits will only apply then. Insurers may decide to cover treatments beyond the CDL under their riders, though the extent of coverage may vary. Your insurer should inform you of the details of your IP and rider coverage by end 2022.

Does the Cancer Drug List  also apply to inpatient cancer drug treatments?

No, inpatient cancer drug treatments are currently covered separately under the inpatient claim limits, together with other costs incurred during the inpatient stay. The MediShield Life inpatient daily ward and treatment charges claim limit is $1,000 per day for the first two days and $800 per day for the third and subsequent days of normal ward stay, and the MediSave inpatient daily hospital charges withdrawal limit is $550 for the first two days and $400 for the third and subsequent days of the ward stay.

If my treatment is not on the Cancer Drug List, will I still be covered?

MediShield Life and MediSave will only cover treatments on the Cancer Drug List (CDL) from 1 September 2022. 

For Integrated Shield Plans (IPs), the CDL will only come into effect from 1 April 2023 onwards, when an existing policy is renewed or a new policy is purchased. If you have an IP that is being renewed between 1 April 2023 and 30 September 2023, and are on a course of cancer drug treatment as of 31 March 2023, insurers have committed to preserve your current IP coverage until 30 September 2023.  

Riders will cover treatments beyond the CDL, though the extent of coverage may vary. Your insurer should inform you of the details of your IP and rider coverage by end 2022.

How are claim limits determined when more than one cancer drug is used in the treatment?

Patients who need more than one cancer drug treatment on the Cancer Drug List (CDL) in a month may claim up to the higher of the MediShield Life, MediSave and Integrated Shield Plan claim limits applicable for the individual treatments. 

For example, if a patient uses both Treatments X (MediShield Life claim limit of $2,000 & MediSave withdrawal limit of $600) and Y (MediShield Life claim limit of $1,000 & MediSave withdrawal limit of $600) in a month, the patient may claim no more than $2,000 from MediShield Life and $600 from MediSave in that month.

Please consult your doctors if you wish to clarify the claim limit that will apply for your treatment.

What is the criteria for inclusion in the Cancer Drug List?

Generally, the Cancer Drug List comprises of drugs that are clinically proven and more cost-effective in treating a particular cancer. A drug is clinically proven if it is registered with the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) for the particular clinical indication and has met the required standards of safety, quality and efficacy. A drug is cost effective if it provides good value in treating the particular cancer compared to existing standard of care, in terms of health benefits and cost.

Who assesses the cost-effectiveness of cancer drug treatments?

Companies are responsible for demonstrating the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of cancer drug treatments through the company-led submission process to the Agency for Care Effectiveness (ACE), Singapore’s national Health Technology Assessment (HTA) agency. 

Based on the evidence and companies’ price proposals, the MOH Drug Advisory Committee (DAC), chaired by the Director of Medical Services in MOH and comprising senior public sector doctors, pharmacists and MOH representatives makes recommendations to MOH for subsidy and MediShield Life coverage. 

More details on the processes and methods can be found on ACE’s website here.

How can I apply for treatments to be added to the CDL?

Since 2022, companies are responsible for providing evidence submissions and price proposals for their cancer drug treatments to be assessed for inclusion on the Cancer Drug List in parallel with their assessment for regulatory approval by HSA. More information can be found here. 

Clinicians can also request ACE to evaluate treatments for potential inclusion on the list using the attached application form. Clinicians who wish to leverage this route should prioritise treatments that are (i) considered standard of care for a rare cancer or (ii) for a specific subgroup of patients with no suitable registered treatment alternatives, and (iii) approved by at least one reference overseas regulatory authority.

All drug applications should be endorsed by the Chairman of the Medical Board (or equivalent body e.g. Medical Director) of the clinician’s institution before submission to MOH_DAC_Secretariat@moh.gov.sg, If you wish to check if a treatment is under evaluation prior to completing the form, please contact the MOH DAC Secretariat in the abovementioned email address. 

What happens if cancer drugs are subsequently removed from the CDL?

The CDL will be updated every 4 months. Generally, treatments will remain on the positive list unless there are strong reasons to remove them. Treatments may also have their claim limits adjusted (e.g. if a generic or biosimilar becomes available) or removed (e.g. if the company increases the price to non-cost-effective levels). 

Where there is a change in the CDL, the prevailing limits or listing based on the date of treatment will apply. If the patient had received the treatment before the drug was listed / after the drug was delisted, there would be no MSHL or IP payout. MOH will provide sufficient notice to medical institutions and insurers to implement any changes to the CDL, and patients are encouraged to switch to alternative subsidised treatments on the list, where possible.

Can a patient claim from the Cancer Drug Services limit if he is receiving a treatment that is not on the CDL?

Yes, patients may claim from the annual Cancer Drug Services limit even if the service was rendered for a cancer treatment not on the CDL (i.e. the claim limit is not specific to treatments on the CDL).

What if I need a treatment which is not on the Cancer Drug List (CDL) or is on the CDL but unsubsidised, and I cannot afford the treatment without insurance?

We encourage you to discuss with your doctor if there are suitable alternative treatments on the CDL that are subsidised and covered by insurance. However, if switching treatments is not feasible, there is support to help you if you do face difficulty affording your treatment.

If you are a subsidised patient, you can approach a Medical Social Worker (MSW) in your Public Health Institution (PHI) for financial assistance such as MediFund. If you are a private patient, you can approach your doctor to refer you to a PHI for subsidised care. The PHI’s medical team will review your treatment plan and provide financial counselling (e.g., eligibility for subsidies) before you decide whether to transfer.

To help existing patients during this transition, MOH will provide additional financial support for all PHI patients without an IP, and who had started treatments that are unsubsidised or not on the CDL before 1 September 2022. Insurers, on their part, will continue their current coverage until 30 September 2023 for patients with IP that are being renewed between 1 April 2023 and 30 September 2023, and who are on a course of cancer drug treatment as of 31 March 2023.

Cancer Drug List

The subsidy class, and MediShield Life and MediSave limits may change from time to time. The prevailing subsidy class, and MediShield Life and MediSave limits will be applied at the point the patient receives treatment. Brands specified in the 'subsidy class' column refers to the eligibility for SDL subsidy only. Other brand(s) of the same active ingredient, while not eligible for SDL subsidy, will follow the same MediShield Life (MSHL), MediSave and IP coverage.

If more than one cancer drug from the list is used in a month, the patient may claim up to the amounts not exceeding the highest MediShield Life and MediSave claim limits applicable for the individual drugs. For example, if a patient uses both Drugs A (MediShield Life claim limit of $2,000 & MediSave withdrawal limit of $600) and B (MediShield Life claim limit of $1,000 & MediSave withdrawal limit of $600) in a month, the patient may claim no more than $2,000 from MediShield Life and $600 from MediSave in that month.
