Frequently Asked Questions

Ministers were moved onto the Medisave-cum-Subsidised Outpatient (MSO) scheme in 1994. Currently, officers on the MSO scheme get a 2% Medisave contribution capped at $2,380 per year, on top of their normal statutory Medisave contributions. This can then be used to buy MediShield Life or other portable Medisave-approved insurance plans (i.e. Integrated Shield Plans) to cover their inpatient needs.

The MSO scheme also provides a subsidy of up to $500 per year for outpatient treatment. There is also a subsidy for dental treatment capped at $120 per year.

The MSO scheme was last reviewed in 2015.
