MOH forms 12-member health insurance committee

It will be the main platform through which the Government will address health insurance issues.

The Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) has formed a 12-member multilateral healthcare Insurance committee (MHIC) to address issues related to health insurance, an announcement read.

The MHIC comprises representatives from the Academy of Medicine, Singapore (AMS), Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE), Fee Benchmarks Advisory Committee (FBAC), Life Insurance Association (LIA), Singapore Medical Association (SMA) and private hospitals.

The appointment will be effective on 27 April.

The body will be the primary platform through which MOH, doctors, insurers and hospitals work together to enhance Singapore’s healthcare insurance system. It will recommend improvements to manage rising healthcare costs and will guide the establishment of platforms to address complaints and arising from claims.

The MHIC stems from an earlier pro-tem committee established in October 2020 between AMS, LIA and SMA to facilitate discussions related to Integrated Shield Plans (IPs).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
