Singapore

Four months after the five Integrated Shield Plan (IP) insurers agreed to freeze the top-up portion of all IPs for a year following the implementation of MediShield Life, Prudential Singapore is the first to raise its rider premiums.

The increase for one of its riders that cover from the first dollar for hospitalisation up to private hospitals ranges from 5 per cent to 35 per cent across all age bands.
