Frequently Asked Questions

Is my corporate health insurance enough?

Corporate insurance is tied to your employment. If you leave, get retrenched, or retire, you lose the coverage. Furthermore, corporate limits are often capped at $50,000–$100,000, which are easily wiped out by a single major surgery. It is critical to have a personal Integrated Shield Plan belonging to you.

What is the 60-month income rule?

It takes an average of 5 years (60 months) to recover from a critical illness. If you are unable to work during this period, your family still needs to cover living expenses, mortgage, and school fees. Your critical illness coverage should equal 5 years of your annual income to buy you recovery time without financial stress.

Do I need a private hospital Shield Plan or is public hospital (Class A/B1) enough?

A public hospital plan is highly cost-effective, but private hospital plans offer faster admission times and your choice of specialist. If speed and choosing your doctor are important to you, go with private. If you are budget-conscious, a Class A public hospital plan is a great balance.

Should I buy term or whole life insurance?

Term insurance is best for high coverage at a low cost during your working years (e.g., until your children grow up and your mortgage is paid off). Whole life insurance is suitable if you want permanent coverage and estate planning/legacy benefits. For 90% of working adults, term insurance is the most capital-efficient choice.
