AIA Singapore launches new policy features vs COVID-19

The enhancements are available to HealthShield Gold Max policyholders.

AIA Singapore has rolled out enhancements to its HealthShield Gold Max policy in a bid to further protect policyholders and their dependents from COVID-19, according to a news release.

The insurer will cover the costs of video medical consultations provided by tele-medicine services provider WhiteCoat for its HealthShield Gold Max policyholders, who can avail of the service through the AIA Healthcare App.

A pre-negotiated rate of $12 (US$8.46) per consultation will be charged if policyholders have already utilised 50,000 video consultations.

AIA will also extend claims pre-authorisation to cover all non-emergency admissions and day surgeries at all private hospitals and healthcare providers across the country. Pre-authorisation is already available for policyholders seeking treatment with AIA Quality Healthcare Partners, effective 15 April. Pre-authorisation is not required for emergency treatments including COVID-19 cases, as eligible claims will be accepted automatically.

HealthShield Gold Max policyholders can easily activate pre-authorisation through the My AIA SG mobile app and the AIA Singapore website.

AIA will also be setting up a dedicated 24/7 policy hotline which will be available 15 April.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
