the TLDR you need.
Integrated shield plan will no longer offer ‘As-Charged’ coverage for cancer from 1st April. This is in line with the MOH policy and MediShield Life (MSL) changes.
For AIA Healthshield Gold Max A policyholders, do note the below coverage for drugs ON the cancer drug list:
AIA Cancer Coverage with the Cancer Care Booster: 21x MediShield Life Limit
AIA Cancer Coverage without the Cancer Care Booster: 5x MediShield Life Limit
This AIA Cancer Care Booster Rider will be launched from 1st April. It is automatically added if you have the Vitalhealth/VitalCare Rider, on policy renewal.
If you do not have the rider, please note that we will have to apply for it separately. There is a window period for application without underwriting.

Conclusion: Beyond just covering for copayment, the rider is now a necessity if you want to be covered at a more relevant level. Even then, it may be prudent to consider an extra, standalone cancer rider. Do drop me a WhatsApp if you would like to find out more.
