SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health (MOH) has appointed a committee tasked with looking at issues related to Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) - which have been the subject of debate between healthcare insurers and private sector doctors.
The row stems from insurers excluding many specialists from their IP doctor panels, which guide policyholders on selecting medical providers.
