The benefits of upgrade your basic MediShield is that your hospitalization expense is as charged, without sub-limits on ward charges or surgery each day. That is no cash premium involve, as MyShield Plus can be pay from your Medisave account.
None of the Shield plan insurers - AIA, Great Eastern, NTUC and Prudential - offer any free coverage for children. Aviva is the only insurer among the five to cover free coverage for children. This could be very helpful for parents who are worried their children may have such problems. If both parents of a child are insured under Aviva's MyShield Plan 1 or 2, all their children will be covered under MyShield Plan 2 for free up till age 20.
