MSIG launches new health policy CriticalCare Plus

This covers Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's, among other CIs

MSIG Insurance has launched CriticalCare Plus, a new health policy covering five major critical illnesses (CIs), including cancer, heart attack, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.

CriticalCare Plus is available in four plan types with maximum payout of S$100,000 (US$77,512).

Policyholders will be granted an accelerated payout at 50% of sum insured upon diagnosis of early-stage cancer such as carcinoma-in-situ, early prostate cancer and early thyroid cancer.

Moreover, there will also be an accelerated payout at 10% of sum insured for angioplasties and other invasive treatments for coronary artery.

New customers may avail a 25% discount on their premiums if they apply until 26 September.

Whilst Singaporeans have employer and national health plans to pay for medical costs, these are often insufficient to fully address long-term needs of critical illnesses.

A report found that the average healthcare cost in Singapore has increased by 10.3% year-on-year (YoY).

(S$1 = US$0.78)

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
