That’s why doctors always overcharge, they know people more inclined to ignore and not challenge the high fees when it all comes from medisave

Last time if a person go A&E but was not warded, think he have to pay whole amount in cash. Don't know if they change that too.
If can use medisave a&e will be even more crowded. Ppl little bit of things will go a&e because they scared to die.

I think you to authorize deduction from medisave and it will take a month or two to be activated. After that, it will in force until you go to the counter to revoke that.

You probably getting old, the staff suggested to you and you signed some forms few months back. Few months later, you visited polyclinics again and you have forgotten about this authorization you signed. Just go to the counter and tell them to revert to cash payment if you like.

And I hope you have been using nuhs or singhealth apps to pay instead of queuing with all the seniors who do not know how to use the app.
Oh no, I’ve signed too many forms


Should I go back to polyclinic or hospital to cancel The authorisation?

I did exactly that. Authorize the use of medisave. Later I revoked that authorization.

The choice is entirely yours.
