Year 2014 - Micah Medical Bill (2 years old+)

Time flies in a blink of an eye! One year just passed !

In summary, year 2014 baby Micah total medical bill was S$1,285.

S$868 was paid by my company. S$417 was reimbursed from Tokio Marine travel insurance.

In short, we paid S$0 cash for Micah medical bill out from our pocket in year 2014. Nice!

Micah medical cost shall be significantly lower in the subsequent years because he completed almost all the vaccinations in Singapore.

So long we are employed, our family medical costs shall be fully covered/reimbursed. This really help to erase the burdens of the high medical cost in Singapore!

Thanks goodness that my company gives S$1,000 medical allowance for the entire family, INCLUDING baby vaccination cost (not many companies allow to claim vaccination cost). That is why we bring him to visit private paediatrician (it is FREE, why not?) instead of general medical doctor or public hospital.

By the way, Karen company provides UNLIMITED claims for medical cost for the entire family too and that includes dental cost!



How much you spend on milk powder ?

My little boy drinks Enfagrow milk powder.

I pay RM 100 for Enfa Stage 3 at Johor. He can finish 1 tin (1.7 KG) of milk within 14 days.

He drinks milk four times a day. So, each bottle of milk (240ml) costs RM 1.79 = S$0.71. 

So one day baby milk consumption cost is S$2.85. (still OK la).

One year, baby milk consumption cost is RM 2,607 = S$1,043. 

If you buy this milk power in Singapore, 1 tin is 1.8 KG instead, selling SGD 80.

Prorated to 1.7KG, it will be S$75.55 = RM 189. So, it is 89% more expensive in Singapore.

It is worth to mention Enfa milk in Singapore is manufactured in Netherlands.

Enfa milk in Malaysia is manufactured in Thailand.

Just recently, they have NEW packaging for the milk powder and I notice that the price starts to inch up.

Usual Price is RM 121.50.

I got the promotion price of RM 115.

It seems like there is a price increment of 15% of what I have purchased previously.

Then, Singapore price (RM189) is about 64% more expensive than Malaysia "only".
