Frequently Asked Questions

- Yes. Apart from Group international health insurance plans, Cigna Singapore also sells individual international health insurance plans – namely the Silver, Gold, and Platinum plans.
How does Cigna health insurance work?
- Cigna's international health insurance is often just a complementary insurance plan that you might want to consider if you are moving abroad for work or studies for a couple of years. It serves to grant you financial access to private hospitals in your country of residence in the event that you run into any emergency illnesses or accidents that may require you to be hospitalised. Since you are a foreigner, do not have any local medical subsidies, and can only be warded to private hospitals, your hospitalisation bill will most likely be extremely costly. An international health insurance serves to cover these overseas medical expenditure. If you were to be diagnosed with any long-term illnesses that may require regular medical attention, you may have to return to Singapore and fall back on your local Integrated Shield Plan and critical illness plans.
Does Cigna have a copay?
- A copay (or co-payment) is a predetermined flat rate that you pay in the event you visit a Cigna-approved clinic or hospital for consultation. Not all Cigna health insurance plans come with copay rates. You will need to give the Cigna customer service hotline a call to find out if your plan comes with any copay rates.
