What’s the limit on the Use of MediSave for Overseas Treatment - Medical Emergency/Treatment not Available in Singapore?

A friend of mine’s father-in-law is currently overseas in BKK and had a heart attack. No insurance whatsoever, including travel insurance. Now requires emergency medical treatment. Has anyone experienced this before?

Hi Leslie,

Just wondering if things are okay for your friend's father-in-law? I think based on what is searchable online and what we have it seems that actually... there doesn't seem to be a way to use medisave to pay for the overseas treatment... Did you call the hotline and get further advise? Also has your friend's father-in-law recovered?

Give the hotline a call and seek their advice on the best way to approach this matter.
