Health insurance helps cushion you and your family from the financial impact of an accident, illness or disability.

There are different types of health insurance plans to help lessen the financial burden during these times. Singaporeans and Permanent Residents are covered by MediShield Life, a basic medical insurance scheme. You can also choose to upgrade your coverage with an Integrated Shield Plan. There are also optional plans that pay out for critical illness, disability income or hospital stays.
