NTUC Income will be offering a free upgrade to its
hospitalisation and surgical plan, Enhanced Incomeshield Basic
plan, for the children of all NTUC members.
This move follows its announcement last week which offered all
children in Singapore a one-year free upgrade from MediShield to
its integrated Shield plan, Standard Incomeshield Plan B.
The offer to NTUC members is valid for one year.
It's available to their children who are Singapore citizens and
permanent residents aged 16 and below, and who do not hold an
integrated Shield plan by NTUC Income or other insurers.
NTUC members who upgrade their children’s Medishield to this
plan will continue paying only the 33 dollars yearly premium for
Medishield.
As the Enhanced Incomeshield Basic Plan costs 70 dollars a year,
this works out to a discount of 37 dollars.
NTUC Income Chief Executive Tan Suee Chieh said that the free
Incomeshield upgrade for the public and NTUC members would cost
some 2.8 million dollars.
He said as a social enterprise, NTUC Income remains committed to
make essential insurance affordable, accessible and sustainable for
all Singaporeans.
