Bought direct via online application so it’s pretty easy as it illustrate all details you needed to know. Entire process took less than a week to obtain your policy documents. Prefer GE plans as compared to the other insurers due to its offering of 1 ADLs payout and reasonable premium since there is a perpetual discount provided for signup now.0

[Online Application Process] It was a seamless user journey when signing up via Singpass Myinfo. CareShield Life Supplement is only available for folks ≥ 30 years old. [Insurance Coverage] [Additonal Premium] Medisave covers up to S$600 of the annual premium (after a 20% discount), which means you don't have to top up cash if you're comfortable with recurring monthly payouts of ≤ S$1,500 in the event of disability (≥ 1 ADL).0

GREAT CareShield
I bought this Great Careshield supplement after i converted my eldershield 400 to Careshield Life. My agent told me that this Great Careshield supplement plan allows policy holders to claim when they are unable to perform one of the six daily activities (ADL). As we age, the higher probability we fall sick or met with an unfortunate accident. It will help to protect by serving as a small additional income while the policy holder take time to recover.0
