Apply for a Medical Loan in Singapore

An urgent medical situation that requires prompt intervention can, unfortunately, happen at any time. Or do you need extra funds to cover treatment your insurance doesn’t fully cover? In any case, an unsecured medical loan in Singapore can be a fantastic option to consider.

What Is a Medical Loan?

When the unthinkable happens, and you are left in the care of the Singaporean medical system, it’s good to know that there are solutions to ease the pressure on your finances and reduce the ongoing financial impact of medical emergencies.

  • In simple terms, medical loans from a licensed moneylender can be defined as a type of financing option where a personal, secured or unsecured loan is used to cover healthcare-related costs.
  • Medical loans can cover almost any healthcare-related cost in our nation, including when your insurance refuses to cover treatments/interventions or your savings are insufficient.  
  • Medical loans can be used by individuals who need financial assistance with healthcare expenses, or by people who want to pursue treatments in private clinics that are not fully supported by their insurance.
  • A medical loan provider can fund external procedures or in-depth imaging without requiring extensive documentation of your medical history.

The main advantage of medical loans in Singapore is flexibility. They can help you manage healthcare costs by spreading repayments over a set period, rather than paying the full medical bill upfront on short notice.

What Can You Use a Medical Loan For?

The benefits of medical loans extend beyond simple hospital bills. A medical loan can help cover healthcare costs when government-available schemes aren’t suitable and/or your personal savings aren’t enough. The conditions will depend on the lender. That said, as a general rule, you should be able to use the funds to:

  • Pay for hospitalisation, emergency treatment, and/or surgeries.
  • Cover the costs of in-depth lab tests, scans, or MRIs required for diagnosis.
  • Pay for your consultations, medication, physiotherapy, or other recurring treatment plans.
  • Get the necessary funds for planned procedures that are not covered by private insurance or by the healthcare-support scheme implemented by the Singaporean government.
  • Other miscellaneous medical expenses that weren’t included in your insurance policy.

Interest Rates for Medical Loans, Fees and Repayment

Before applying for personal loans for medical bills, it’s important to understand the total costs of borrowing, including effective interest rates and the applicable administrative fees, related to your selected loan package. As a borrower, you should compare the factors that can affect how much you’ll actually pay for the medical loan at the end of the repayment period.

Applicable Interest Rate

Per the framework laid out in the Moneylender Act, the maximum interest rates applicable to secured or unsecured loans are capped at 4% per month.

Interest is calculated on the outstanding principal and the actual rate offered to you, as a borrower might be lower than the maximum imposed by law, as your lending conditions will depend on the optional collateral you are able to attach to your medical loan application, and/or your current credit score and ongoing income.

Processing and Administrative Fees

The administrative fee charged by our agency cannot legally exceed 10% of the loan principal.

For instance, if you are applying for a medical loan totalling S$10,000, under the Moneylenders Act, the maximum administration fee applicable to the credit package cannot be greater than S$1,000.

Late Payment Charges, Loan Tenure, and Total Amount Repayable

By law, our agency can:

  • Charge late interest of 4% per month calculated on the overdue amount
  • Impose a S$60 penalty for each month of late repayment
  • Pursue court action in order to recover the loan.

 

As for the total fees you need to pay, in accordance with the law, combined interest rates, late interest, upfront administrative fee and late-payment fees cannot exceed the loan principal. So, in other words, you can’t pay in taxes more than you borrow.

Moreover, repayments for the medical loan can be made either at regular, pre-established intervals or monthly, and the total amount you’ll need to pay will depend on the cumulative interest applicable to the loan and the duration of the repayment period.

Check Other Medical Funding Options

Taking out a loan can be a good way to cover medical expenses, but it’s not always your only option. Here are four options that are worth exploring before applying for a medical loan:

MediSave

  • MediSave is a national medical savings scheme. Citizens and permanent residents contribute a portion of their salary to a CPF account that can be used for future medical procedures or treatments.

MediShield Life

  • MediShield Life is a universal, basic health insurance plan administered by the CPF Board. All citizens are enrolled in this plan from birth, while permanent residents are included in the plan once they obtain their residency. Premiums are deducted annually from your MA.

MediFund

  • MediFund is a government-backed safety net, designed to help citizens who are subsidised patients at MediFund-approved institutions and still struggle to pay their bills after government subsidies, insurance and MediSave.

Hospital Payment Arrangements

  • Sometimes, the medical institution that treated you might provide financial assistance or payment arrangements, designed for low-income individuals, or cases in which government-backed schemes are not an option to consider.
