NTUC Income IncomeShield Integrated Shield Plan Preferred
Most affordable private health insurance in the whole of Singapore (huge upside), and given that their coverage is on-par or even better than other insurers, no reason to spend more money on other insurers when this will do just the trick.. Personally, I have also heard many good reviews on NTUC customer service and claims process (word of mouth), and they strike me as a reliable company and brand. It is also a well known brand and company locally. Policy documents are also extremely easy to understand. I signed up myself online without the need for an insurance agent and the English used in the policy documents were extremely clear without excessive use of jargon. I was originally on their Advantage Plan (which covers up to ward A) and decided to upgrade. I have had conditions in the past (many years ago), and NTUC income was the only company that saw my application and documents objectively and accepted my application AND upgrade WITHOUT any exclusions.1

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.0
