Which is the most cost efficient (annually) health insurance under private hospitalization category?

I’m currently on the NTUC Income Enhanced Incomeshield Preferred plan for between age of 31-35. My upcoming renewal will cost me $1056 annually (rider + cash outlay of enhanced preferred coverage) which I find is quite high. Am looking alternatives like AIA Goldmax A but also saw that current health insurance over covers 95%. What does that mean?

With this in mind, I will suggest for you to speak with your agent to conduct a comprehensive financial portfolio review. This enables us to determine whether it makes sense to make a switch.
