Types of Insurance offered by Great Eastern

1

Health Insurance

If you are a Singaporean citizen or a Permanent Resident (PR), you will have the MediShield Life health insurance plan issued by the government's Ministry of Health by default. A basic health insurance is necessary for all – it helps to alleviate hefty medical bills in the event of outpatient or inpatient illnesses and injuries. However, the basic MediShield Life only grants you access to limit wards in public hospitals with lower claim limits for treatments and surgeries – which is also why some individuals may opt to approach a private insurance company for an Integrated Shield Plan (IP) to supplement their MediShield Life plan. Great Eastern's flagship IP is the Great Eastern SupremeHealth. Other health insurance products include the CareShield, TotalCare, Supreme MediCash, Cancer Guard, Maternity Cover, and more.

Great Eastern offers 9 types of personal accident plans, namely the GREAT Comprehensive Care, Protector Active, Junior Protector, Golden Protector, AccidentCare Plus II, Essential Protector, PA Supreme, and Prestige PACare.

4

Travel Insurance

Do I really need a travel insurance if I am just going on a short vacation? Luggages lost? Apple Watch pickpocketed? Missed a connecting flight? Trip interrupted and delayed by unforeseen circumstances? Although travel insurance plans may offer you nifty compensation for these unfortunate scenarios, the real purpose of a travel insurance is the coverage for emergency medical and hospital reimbursement while you are overseas, medical evacuation back home (in case you need to be ferried in an air ambulance or helicopter), disabilities, death, and repatriation of your body – all of which can easily rack up to S$100,000 and above in a single bill. Great Eastern offers 2 types of travel insurance plans – Travel Easy, and TravelSmart Premier with differing permutations of the above mentioned key benefits.

5

Car Insurance

If you intend to drive in Singapore, do note that a car insurance is mandatory in Singapore – and you need to first purchase a car insurance before the car can be handed over to your ownership. You will generally find 3 types of car insurance plans in Singapore – third-party (the legal minimum) which covers any damages to your car caused by another driver, third-party fire and theft (fire or theft of your car by someone else), and comprehensive car insurance (covers damages to the other driver's car if you caused the damage, as well as coverage for your own car). Great Eastern offers 1 car insurance plan, namely the comprehensive Drive and Save Plus in Singapore, which offers you personal accident protection for medical reimbursement, and your choice of workshops as well.

Do note that if you own a HDB flat in Singapore, you would have paid for a compulsory HDB Fire Insurance – and renewed it every 5 years.

Premiums for the HDB Fire Insurance Scheme ranges from S$4.87 to S$7.13 per 5 years (effective 2019 to 2024).

Maid Insurance
