Insurance & coverage
Insurance you can actually understand.
Every Singaporean already carries some protection. The real questions are simpler than the brochures make them sound: what does each layer do, where are the gaps, and which cover actually fits your life.
What it actually is
Insurance turns a rare, unaffordable loss into a small, predictable cost.
You pay a premium. In return, the insurer carries a risk you could not absorb alone, like a six-figure hospital bill or the loss of your income. Coverage is the precise promise behind it: what gets paid, when, and up to how much.
Premium
What you pay, usually each year. It buys the promise, not a product you keep.
Cover
What the policy pays out, and the ceiling it pays up to. The number that matters when something goes wrong.
The trigger
The event that makes it pay: a hospital stay, a diagnosis, a death, an accident. Everything turns on this.
The Singapore stack
Your health cover is built in layers.
Most people never see the structure, only the premium. Three layers. Each does one job. Open each to see how it works.
The universal base, run by the government. Every citizen and permanent resident has it, for life, and it covers large bills in subsidised public wards. It is the floor under everyone.

Personal accident

Compare every plan
Search and filter every cover type.
Filter by life stage and category, or search by name, then tap any card for what it does, who it suits, and how it connects to the rest. Estimates are illustrative, not advice.
Health vs life
The two halves of protection work differently.
Health & hospitalisation
- Pays the medical bill directly, to the hospital.
- Renews every year; the premium rises as you age.
- Premiums are MediSave-eligible up to an annual limit.
- Covers the cost of getting treated.
Life & critical illness
- Pays a lump sum to you or your family.
- The sum is fixed when you buy; the premium can be locked in.
- Paid in cash, not from MediSave.
- Covers the financial hole the event leaves behind.
