International health insurance for expats in Singapore is important. It’s useful when you need medical attention nearby or for an unexpected hospital stay while on vacation. Here’s a look at the benefits of international health coverage from two providers.
Allianz – international health insurance for expats
Allianz offers health insurance for Singapore expats and residents who travel frequently. Their International Healthcare for Individuals in Singapore are notable. These insurance plans provide 24/7 support, international health coverage and flexibility for those travelling to many different countries.
The core plans cover in-patient and day-care treatments. Most of these international health insurance plans also provide cover for chronic medical conditions, congenital conditions and medical evacuation cover, just in case. This can be particularly useful if you’re travelling and require medical attention from another country – some travel insurance options won’t provide this layer of cover. If you choose to travel to another country in your area of cover for treatment, you may also be eligible to be reimbursed for the medical costs incurred within the terms of your policy.
For peace of mind there’s also an option to add on a dental plan, maternity plan and repatriation plan.
These plans mean you’re free to choose a healthcare professional you feel comfortable with. If you do need some help, you can use the MyHealth app – it can connect you to telehealth services, an expat assistance programme, the Wysa mind coaching app, digital check-ups and more.
