The Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) for Health wants to know why two in 10 subsidised patients are not getting full cover from MediShield Life.
Its chairman, Dr Chia Shi Lu, said the GPC is asking the Health Ministry "for a breakdown" of subsidised patients whose bills are not fully insured.
