Introduction of medical insurance for immigrants in Singapore

# Singapore Immigrants # Introduction Singapore's medical security system is one of the most distinctive medical security systems in the world. Since1980s, the Central Provident Fund Bureau has made many health care plans. Let's introduce the medical insurance for immigrants in Singapore. Welcome to read!

The first is the "health savings plan".

In April 1984, the Provident Fund Bureau launched the "Health Care Savings Plan". According to the plan, provident fund members are required to deposit part of their provident fund into medical savings accounts every month. The proportion of payment varies with the age of insurance, and the older the age, the higher the corresponding proportion of payment. Members of the provident fund can use the savings in the medical care savings account to pay for local medical expenses of themselves or their spouses, children, parents, grandparents and other immediate family members, mainly paying for hospitalization expenses and part of outpatient expenses in public hospitals and approved private hospitals. In July, 1992, the provident fund bureau also launched a health savings plan for the self-employed to ensure that the self-employed can pay medical expenses when they are in urgent need.

Second, the "dual health insurance plan".

The "health savings plan" has been able to protect residents who have incurred general medical expenses, but for citizens who have spent a lot due to serious illness and chronic diseases, the account funds may be insufficient. Therefore, from July 1990, the Provident Fund Bureau implemented the "Double Health Insurance Plan". This is a critical illness medical insurance plan. Members are allowed to apply for insurance with the savings in the provident fund medical insurance savings account to ensure that members have the ability to pay for serious illness treatment and long-term hospitalization, but the medical insurance savings are insufficient. Since 1990, all health savings depositors under the age of 75 are automatically included in this insurance plan unless they choose not to participate in this insurance.

In July, 1994, the Provident Fund Bureau launched the "Value-added Health Insurance Plan". Compared with the "dual health insurance plan", the "dual value-added health insurance plan" has to pay a slightly higher premium and the corresponding compensation treatment is also higher.

Third, the "health fund plan".

Although the "health savings plan" and "dual health insurance plan" cover the vast majority of Singapore's population, there are still a small number of poor nationals who cannot afford medical expenses. Therefore, in 199 1, Singapore put forward the idea of establishing a special fund funded by the government. Parliament approved the Medical Fund Act. 1In April, 1993, the medical insurance fund was formally established, aiming at helping poor patients who are still unable to pay medical expenses outside the "medical insurance savings plan" and "medical insurance dual plan". In fact, it is to provide them with medical assistance.

The above-mentioned triple medical insurance guarantees the basic medical insurance for Singaporeans.
