A blog post by the CEO of a financial advisory firm in Singapore has called for companies to review their group hospitalisation benefits, and the reason they have to do this is due to the implementation of MediShield Life.
Entitled Why Companies Should Review Their Group Hospitalisation Benefits with the Introduction of MediShield Life", the short post reveals why it is timely for companies to do a thorough think-through of their organisational level hospitalisation benefits.
According to Alfred Chia CEO of SingCapital Pte Ltd the need for such reviews is a logical one:
Unless one has unlimited financial resources, there is no way that companies can cater to all of their employees' medical needs. As the Singapore government strives towards universal coverage with the introduction of MediShield Life, it is inevitable that there will be overlaps between corporate group hospitalisation benefits with the benefits offered under Singapore's national hospitalisation insurance scheme."
With the introduction of MediShield Life, things have changed," Chia added.

The blog post is part of a larger website offering information about MediShield Life, a national health and medical insurance scheme protecting 3.9 million citizens and permanent residents of the island state of Singapore.
The scheme took effect on the 1st of November 2015, and SingCapital a financial advisory firm licenced by the Monetary Authority of Singapore has launched a website in conjunction with the implementation of the scheme.
Entitled [About MediShield Life](http://www.aboutmedishieldlife.com/)", this website aims to be the resource site for employers, human resource practitioners and business owners who have questions about the national health and hospitalisation insurance scheme.
In a press statement released earlier, Chia revealed his reasons for creating such a site:
The implementation of MediShield Life has implications on how employees plan for their health insurance, and how their families are taken care of in terms of their medical needs. Our purpose in creating this site is to provide employers with the necessary information that will help in addressing the healthcare needs of their employees."
