11 November 2024

NOTICE PAPER NO. 3201

NOTICE OF QUESTION FOR ORAL ANSWER

FOR THE SITTING OF PARLIAMENT ON 11 NOVEMBER 2024


Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Mr Leong Mun Wai

Non-Constituency MP

Question No. 6788

To ask the Minister for Health what is the rationale for excluding policyholders aged below 40 years old from qualifying to redeem MediShield Life premium discounts using Healthpoints that are earned through the Healthy 365 app.

Answer

1 This is a pilot project, to encourage individuals to lead healthier lifestyles by allowing them to redeem their Healthpoints for discounts on their premiums.

2 This pilot is targeted at individuals aged 40 and above, because it is in support of Healthier SG, which targets the same age group. By focusing on this age group, we are also more likely to see clearer correlation between healthy lifestyles and good health, and provide the evidence to consider if it can be a permanent feature of MediShield Life.
