Covid-19 patients in C-class ward to pay about $700 from April 1
SINGAPORE – From April 1, a Covid-19 patient admitted to a C-class ward in hospital is likely to pay $700 after subsidies and tapping MediShield Life, as pandemic subsidies are further scaled back with the coronavirus treated as an endemic disease.
Patients can use MediSave for treatment and hospitalisation, and MediFund can help those who are unable to use MediSave or have difficulty paying the $700 bill, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Health Rahayu Mahzam told Parliament on Friday. “It is noteworthy that after three years of the pandemic, the vast majority of Covid-19 patients experience mild symptoms and are not expected to require hospital admission,” she noted.
Patients who visit polyclinics with symptoms will be charged about $20 to $35 after subsidies, similar to what patients with other acute respiratory diseases are charged, said Ms Rahayu.
