What are your views on the riders for the integrated health shields to cover the deductibles and co insurance. Should we cover 100% which is terribly expensive?

In my humble opinion, you will have to weight the risk between the 5% co-payment scheme, and the premiums that is payable based on your age.

On one hand, you can say that the insurance is affordable at a younger age, and gets increasingly more expensive that you might want to self-insure the riders.

On the other hand, the risk of you going into hospital increases as you age, so it is fair for the premiums to scale up as you grow older.

Of course, for personal risk, it totally depends on whether you can afford the deductibles and co-insurance should it happens. So you have to do your own risk assessment on this.

Hi. My integrated shield plan cover govt A and show 10% co insur to claimable amount. If i choose to stay in B2/C wards is my co insurance based on medishield life calculation of 10%/5%/3% instead?

Are there individual (not Group) health insurance policies that focus on covering outpatient medical costs such as for specialist/GP visits? Can such policies be added as a rider to shield policies?
