Why do you needmedical insurance?
One cannot predict when sickness or injury happens. A loss of health can mean a loss of earnings if you are unable to work, and it can also lead to ongoing medical bills that may drain your financial resources.
Having medical insurance can make a huge difference when it comes to medical care. It covers you and your family against unexpected medical costs, and helps to ease the financial burden of your hospitalisation and surgical needs, especially with the rising medical costs in Singapore.
Although MediShield Life, a national health insurance plan, can be used to offset a part of the expenses, it only provides basic coverage. Private health insurance is important for enhanced coverage. Not only do you enjoy high annual claim limits with private insurance, you also enjoy benefits covering pre- and post-hospitalisation needs, such as consultations, diagnostic tests, follow-up treatments, and more.

How expensivecan medical bills get?
When the unexpected happens, there is no doubt that you should be focusing on your recovery instead of worrying about your medical bills. But with escalating healthcare costs, seeking treatment can cause afinancial strain.
In 2015, the gross medical inflation rate in Singapore was 15%, which is about 7% higher than the global rate*. Furthermore, Singapore has an average life expectancy that ranked third in the world at 83.1 years**. A longer life span may mean additional strain to medical cost one may need to bear.
How much your treatment will cost also depends on the type of medical condition you have, whether you seek treatment at a public or private hospital, the type of hospital ward you choose and the length of hospital stay you require. Here are two examples of the total hospital inpatient bill that one could incur for lung and breast cancer†.
It is important to ensure that you are covered more comprehensively against your medical bills with a private health insurance plan.

With rising healthcare costs, you can be better prepared for costly medical bills by enhancing your coverage with an Integrated Shield Plan.
PRUshield, a Medisave-approved plan1, is a private health insurance plan that provides the additional coverage you need to complement the existing benefits you already enjoy with MediShield Life.
It gives you more options to choose the coverage that suits your budget and healthcare needs. This includes the flexibility of choosing between private and public hospitals, ward classes and doctors.
How PRUshield helps provide enhanced coverage
MediShield Life (National Health Insurance Plan)
PRUshield Plan + Supplementary Plan for Deductible & Co-insurance
Deductible: The amount you need to pay first before any PRUshield benefits are paid out.
Co-insurance: A percentage of the claimable amount you need to co-pay or share after you pay the deductible.

Make your health a priority
How your premiums can change in the future
How the fairer pricing approach works
HospitalClaims payments made on PRUextra Premier during the review period
Movement on premium levels (subject to minimum Standard Level Premium and maximum of Level 5)
Private Hospital S$1,000 and below Stay at the same level
Private Hospital Above S$1,000 to S$5,000 Move up two levels 2 Levels
Private Hospital Above S$5,000 Move up four levels 4 Levels
Public Hospital Any claims amount and no claims made at a private hospital Move down one level 1 Level

You will also enjoy the PRUwell Reward, a 20% savings on your Standard Level Premium when your policy is incepted with no exclusions. Each year, your premium level will be determined by any previous claims you made at private and public hospitals during the review period. As long as you stay healthy, with no claims made, you will continue to enjoy the PRUwell Reward on your Standard Level Premium at your next policy renewal.

8 The above illustration is based on an estimated calculation of MediShield Life payout. The figures are for illustrative purposes only.
Mr Tan is a 30-year-old Singaporean who was having trouble with his gallbladder. After a visit to the doctor and a number of follow-up tests and scans, including an abdominal ultrasound, Mr Tan was diagnosed with gallstones.
Following his doctor’s recommendation, Mr Tan underwent gallbladder removal surgery and was hospitalised for 5 days.
Take a look at how the various PRUshield plans made a difference in the amount Mr Tan had to pay.

As a foreigner, it can be even more challenging for you to enjoy comprehensive coverage in your home away from home. With the added burden of relocating overseas, and having no MediShield Life or adequate healthcare insurance from your employers in Singapore, medical costs can be significant for you and your family.
PRUshield ensures that you are well-protected, no matter what. Take Mr Smith for example. The 30-year-old Australian has been staying in Singapore for two years. Only recently, he had some trouble with his gallbladder. A visit to the doctor and some tests confirmed he needed gallbladder removal surgery and hospitalisation for 5 days.
Here is how the various PRUshield plans made a difference in the amount Mr Smith had to pay.

The figures are for illustrative purposes only.
Rising medical costs and claims have resulted in the increase of Integrated Shield Plan premiums in recent years. But you can manage the cost of your premiums by considering the option of filing your medical claims under your company’s group insurance employee benefit plan first, or under other individual plans you may have.
By using your PRUshield policy only as the last option, you reduce the claims made against it and leave your policy benefit limit unaffected. This way, your personal premiums can be kept more affordable in the long term.
