Their premiums are usually lower than other IP providers in Singapore, making it an affordable option for many individuals and families.

With such comprehensive coverage, you can be assured that you will be well protected should the unexpected happen.

3. Flexible options

Enhanced IncomeShield covers not only hospitalisation expenses but also pre- and post-hospitalisation expenses. This means that if you require medical treatment before being admitted to the hospital, such as outpatient consultation or tests, the costs will be covered under the plan. Additionally, if you require follow-up treatment after being discharged from the hospital, such as follow-up consultations or medications, Enhanced IncomeShield will also cover these costs.

The number of days covered for pre- and post-hospitalisation expenses depends on the plan that you choose:

For the Basic & Advantage Plans, it covers up to 100 days of pre & post hospitalisation expenses.
For the Preferred Plans, they cover up to 180 days of pre-hospitalisation expenses and up to 365 days of post-hospitalisation expenses. (both of which are offered only when you use the insurer’s panel of doctors, else it will also be 100 days).

It’s important to note that the coverage for pre and post-hospitalisation expenses is subject to the policy terms and conditions, and certain limitations and exclusions may apply. You can refer to the details here.
