Re: Health Screening

Hi people, Just a note, for the 5 insurers that offer the integrated private medical insurance (medishield upgrade) will NOT bear the cost of sending for medical checkups during application.

Re: How to Deal with Rising Health care Cost?

Hi Ray, Great sharing, indeed insurance is not the best solution in some cases. And he has correctly pointed out that indirectly causes the rise in treatment cost, medical inflation doesnt go in tandem with normal inflation. A tip to add, try your very best not to tell your doctor or just say not su...

Re: Is there need to change medical/hospitalization plan

Hi Alina, A little overkill, a 3rd authentication from a practitioner, thats correct. You don't necessarily need to stick with one insurer. The basic medishield cover (assuming healthy when ur medishield started) will not be affected by the special terms when upgrading to as-charge plan. Hi Albert, ...

If I bought shares 2 months ago I will be making great capital losses now and for the next 12 months or so. If I cut lo...
