How to get about exclusion criteria for the Hospitalization Integrated Shield Plan?

Hi I have cyst removal and I was excluded for the ovary and cyst related illness. Understand from my physician my cyst is common and in my last follow up show that no more cysts are found. my agent tried appeal but keep telling me the underwriter not getting back and until now 6 months has passed with no news from the underwriter. Can I check usually how long will I get my appeal result?

HI Anon,

I do think that it will be challenging as based on the nature of that exclusion, I do believe most insurers will exclude. However that being said, as a Singaporean you are included in Medishield Life, which is our national healthcare plan that covers all conditions, even pre-existing ones. So if you are going to see a doctor or be hospitalised due to your back, you would be limited to Government Restructed Hospitals only.

However I would suggest getting an Integrated Shield Plan to provide you coverage in the events you are hospitalised for other reasons.
