Pre delivery expenses Medisave

Hi! 1st time mum here and very confused on Medisave. I have been paying upfront for pre delivery expenses and Medisave says you can claim up to $900 for this. I am not sure what claiming means? If I already paid 900$upfront and the bills can only be submitted at delivery, I’m confused where the reimbursement goes - do I get it to my bank account? Or where does the 900$ go, thank you! Sorry if silly question but I’m really really confused. Thanks!

Hello! I was thinking too. But when i do read ups, i saw some mentioned that the $900 will be reimbursed back to our Medisave account. If thats the case, shouldn’t we just accumulate all our pre delivery bills so it can be deducted via Medisave during labour…i mean since we are not getting it back in cash? Still unsure. Hope someone can enlighten us on this :)

The $900 will be deducted from your final hospital bill. E.g your hospital bill shows 3000, -900 will be shown and the total payable will be 2100.

The $900 can either be deducted from your final bill or they will reimburse you the amount back from your Medisave account.

Hi! Thanks for this. I’m definitely looking for reimbursement, would you know if the 900$ goes into my Medisave vs my own bank account?

I am compiling all my pre delivery bill and gonna let them deduct through my medisave after birth!
