Question No. 3555

To ask the Minister for Health whether the annual MediSave withdrawal limits for chronic disease management will be completely lifted under Healthier SG.

Written Answer

The withdrawal limit for Medisave continues to be relevant and will be in place, to ensure adequacy in healthcare savings through life. In 2021, about 9 in 10 of all patients who withdrew MediSave under the Chronic Disease Management Programme did not reach their annual limits. The Ministry will continue to monitor MediSave utilisation, and review withdrawal limits regularly.
