Save money with a basic Medishield plan

Hi Mr. Tan,
I find that the premium for private Shield has become more expensive at the older ages.  My father is 76 years old and my mother is 69 years old. Shall I continue to insure them under Incomeshield M Plans, or switch back to Basic MediShield? If there is a need, we can visit a private hospital and pay out of our savings.

If your parents find the premium for private Shield to be too expensive, it is better to switch back to Basic Medishield. They can go to subsidised wards in Government hospitals, rather than private hospitals. You can switch back to basic Medishield at anytime, even after gae 70.
