It is written “One advantage of having an IP is the higher amount
claimable for kidney dialysis. The standard B1 plan pays up to $2,750 a month
for this while MediShield Life pays only $1,000. This is an important
consideration if your income bracket does not qualify you for subsidised
treatment.”.
Is the above
statement correct?
In Singapore all
kidney dialysis are run privately unless it is done in hospital.
The old Plan A
& B migrated from CPFB has no pro-ration factor, but most “as
charge” today plan has this pro-ration factor for treatment in private institution.
I am trying to
bring about the point that kidney dialysis the public has no choice to go to a “restructured
kidney dialysis’ centre unless is done as inpatient in restructured hospital.
The pro-ration
factor will not help people who are caught in kidney dialysis needs. I was told
pro-ration will apply unless is done at VWO centres like NKF or KDF but is subject to means test.
If I am correct
on this pro-ration for kidney dialysis unless there are alternatives,
pro-ration factor should not apply for outpatient kidney dialysis.
