Organization:
Central Provident Fund
Singapore
What they wanted:
The Central Provident Fund is the cornerstone of Singapore�s social welfare program. CPF is a mandatory defined contribution savings program which deposits 40% of wages (equally split between employer and employee) into an interest-bearing account.
The Issue:
Consideration of a Medical Savings Account (MSA) program due to a:
- National preoccupation with savings;
- Desire to control escalation of health care costs; and
- Concurrent goal of continuing to provide a sophisticated health care system.
What we did:
Following review of this operation, NHG recommended dissolution of a recently acquired MSO. Cash flow needs, breakeven timing and make vs. buy decisions were integral to securing consensus on business realities related to this entity�s ongoing solvency.
