Hi anon,

ā€‹

In a nutshell, your premiums are personalized and you should go to https://www.careshieldlife.gov.sg/home.html to check your personal premiums (they will vary based on gender).

ā€‹

I highly encourage you to upgrade to basic careshield from eldershield as the benefits are much better, and government subsidies plus the fact that careshield is a national scheme with a bigger risk pool will mean that the premiums are rather cost efficient.

ā€‹

For the supplement plan, you will have to undergo medical underwriting and given your age, the premiums will be higher. However, it can provide a much needed boost in the payout amount if something happens to you (fingers crossed you will remain healthy for life) given that Careshield pays $600/mth which can't even cover the cost of a maid.

ā€‹

You will have to also calculate the sustainability of your premiums for the supplement plan as well, to ensure that your coverage does not lapse.
