Prudential Singapore

This is the most basic coverage for medical and surgical expenses at restructured hospitals. You'll need to pay for two things - the "Deductible" which is a fixed amount to be paid by a policyowner before the MediShield Life and PRUShield benefits are payable, and the "Co-insurance" which is a percentage of the claimable amount that a policyowner needs to co-pay after the "Deductible".

A step up from PRUShield Standard, PRUShield Plus offers you 2 riders to choose from.

• PRUExtra Plus CoPay: Covers 95% of your deductible and half of your co-insurance if you go to a hospital on the Prudential panel. It is priced at $246* annually.
• PRUExtra Plus Lite CoPay: Covers 50% of your deductibles (up to S$1,750 per policy year) and half of your Co-Insurance if you go to a hospital on their panel. It is priced at $148* annually.

*Premiums are based on age-next birthday 35.

If you don’t mind going to a panel hospital, it’s a no-brainer to pick PRUExtra Preferred CoPay as it’s the most cost-effective rider. Do note the premiums of these riders may rise depending on your past claims, and that you must pay for them in cash (not Medisave).
