      NTUC Income IncomeShield Integrated Shield Plan Preferred

      [Insurance Coverage] Adequate coverage for the premium paid. Switched to NTUC Income + riders + hospital cash that provide reasonably lower premium than my previous plans without hospital cash. However with the recent change, the rider plan doesn’t pay hospital cash anymore if you admitted to lower ward than your selected plan. [Claims Process] So far claim process has been smooth for me and my family on both Pte and Govt hospital. Reimbursement of claims were made within 1-2 months after discharged. Do review the settlement as they once paid wrongly on the hospital cash payout.

      NTUC Income IncomeShield Integrated Shield Plan Advantage

      IMO, Income offers comprehensive coverage at affordable prices. Their default coverage is for the really common illnesses and you can top up for other optional coverage, thus lowering their premium. Unless you are someone who is risk averse and want to cover as much as possible, their default coverage is good enough.

      How does Enhanced IncomeShield Compare with Other Integrated Shield Plans?

      According to our calculations across 3 chosen age groups, IncomeShield is one of the most affordable Integrated Shield Plans for Class A, Class B, and Standard IP.

      Standard Integrated Shield Plan Premiums for age 25 to 45

      At age 25 to 35, Enhanced IncomeShield is priced below average for Class A and Class B and Standard IP. Thus, if your age next birthday is within 25 to 35 years old, you can definitely consider Enhanced IncomeShield for their affordability across 3 different tiers of plans.

      Class A Ward Integrated Shield Plan Comparison

      Note that the pricing system for Income's IP is different - Singaporean Citizens are charged lesser than Permanent Residents for Class B plans. At Age 45, the premium for permanent residents is above average. Hence PR applicants might want to be wary of this.

      If you're looking for a Private Hospital IP, you should look somewhere else as Enhanced IncomeShield has one of the most expensive premiums for Private Hospital wards evidenced from the comparison chart below.
