Letter of Guarantee

Prudential offers an electronic Letter of Guarantee of up to S$10,000. A Letter of Guarantee is an assurance of payment offered by the insurer to hospitals for part of the hospital bill covered by insurance. This will help to prevent high upfront costs and help to make your hospital admission process easier.
