All Pioneers will receive annual MediSave top-ups, which range from $250-$900 depending on birth cohort. These top-ups can be used to further offset premiums. Older Pioneers with serious pre-existing conditions will receive additional MediSave top-ups of $50-$200 from 2021-2025, to help with their higher MediShield Life premiums.

¹ Premiums are based on the indicative schedule of benefits and may be adjusted, such as for changes in healthcare costs. The CPFB will provide written notification on the payable MediShield Life premium (after any applicable subsidies), before premium deduction.

² Age Next Birthday is the Pioneer's age on his/her next birthday after the policy renewal date.

³ There will be an Additional Premium of 30% if the Pioneer has serious pre-existing conditions.
