I have a member in my Financial Independence community who was diagnosed with blood cancer in 2023.
He has since undergone treatments and we are happy that he is currently in remission. He decide to document his medical claims experience so that more of us can have an idea about it. So he did up a presentation slide-deck for an internal education presentation but graciously share it with me here so that more people can know about it.
He was admitted to a government hospital under an A/B1 class treatment and he has a private shield plan with a rider. The total treatment came up to $191k but because he has private insurance and rider, the total out-of-pocket ended up $7.1k. This $7.1k can be payable by your CPF Medisave but there are limits to how much you can pay with it.
This might be something that some of you are less aware of...
