CPF Medishield Does Not Cover All Your Hospital Bills

You need to upgrade your CPF Medishield because it does not cover all your hospital bills. It will not cover any work related injuries as your company is expected to foot the bill with Workmen Compensation Insurance which may not be sufficient for a long stay in the hospital.

Ask your financial adviser for help to upgrade your Medishield plan now if you have not done so. If you need help here, do drop me us email soon…
