Notes

  • Patients who are economically inactive will receive full subsidy (65% for Class B2 and 80% for Class C) unless they live in property with Annual Value exceeding $11,000. The latter will receive subsidy at 50% (B2) or 65% (C).

  • Subsidy for Permanent Residents will be 10%-points less than citizens of equivalent income level.

  • Calculation of monthly income includes all your bonuses and allowances. Rule of thumb is to take your annual income including all bonuses, and divide it by 12.
