NOTICE OF QUESTION FOR WRITTEN ANSWER

FOR THE SITTING OF PARLIAMENT ON 7 JANUARY 2025

 Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Mr Patrick Tay Teck Guan

MP for Pioneer 

Question No. 6359 

To ask the Minister for Health whether the Ministry is reviewing or increasing the MediSave usage limits for baby delivery expenses in light of the Government promoting parenthood and childbirth. 

Answer 

1                    As part of the review of the MediShield Life Scheme announced recently, MOH will be raising the MediSave inpatient and day surgery withdrawal limits. From 1 April 2025, for a typical delivery episode comprising a two-day B2/C ward stay and related pre-delivery medical expenses, the amount of MediSave one can withdraw will increase from up to $2,750 today to up to $4,280.  

2                    MOH will also be raising the MediSave Grant for Newborns (MGN) from $4,000 to $5,000 for every Singaporean Citizen newborn born from 1 April 2025. This will further help to offset the medical expenses of Singaporean children.
