I have full insurance coverage for public hospitals now, understand that co--payment will kick in soon or even if I choose to upgrade now.?

Should I stick to my current plan or upgrade to a private coverage?

Hence, it is a valid concern for upgrading for possible pregnancy complication needs.

There is a waiting period of 10months usually before pregnancy complications can be covered. If you would like to upgrade, most insurers have at present moment launched their new 5% co-payment rider plans.

Is health insurance covering private hospitals really necessary? Is it penny wise / pound foolish to only buy the public hospital coverage?

I’ve just graduated and about to start my first job soon. What insurance plans should I consider (or should I even), given that the company already has insurance medical coverage for employees?

I am 27 and have an IP AIA Healthshield Goldmax Standard started before the co pay feature kicks in. Can someone help to clarify the standard plan coverage for ward A and private hospital?

My advisor says even if I purchase the Aviva Public Officers Group Insurance Scheme now before the new definitions for the CI kicks in on 26/08/20, I will be under the new definition come 26/8. Is it true?
