Using MediSave in JB at Regency Specialist Hospital

Singaporeans are no strangers to using MediSave to offset hospital bills, but even with it, healthcare costs can still add up quickly. For those who don’t mind crossing the Causeway for treatment, there’s actually a way to use your MediSave in JB too.

Regency Specialist Hospital is the only hospital in JB currently that allows the usage of MediSave for eligible medical treatments. Before you start booking a hospital appointment, here’s what you need to know about the scheme and how to get started.

The private hospital is located around a 15- to 30-minute drive from the JB checkpoint, depending on traffic. It has more than 100 specialists across various medical fields and sees around 230,000 patients annually. Regency Specialist Hospital also treats around 150 to 200 international patients each day, according to CNA.

But here’s the part that’s probably most relevant to Singaporeans: it’s currently the only hospital in JB where MediSave can be used for eligible medical expenses. In fact, it has been on Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) list of approved overseas hospitals for MediSave claims since March 2010.
