With over half (59%) of Singaporean consumers expressing a need or potential need for additional resources and support for mental wellness[1], AIA Singapore aims to bridge this gap with their upcoming policy enhancements.
- Treatment for in-patient mental care on ‘as charged’ basis;
- Increasing age limit for senior workers;
- Introducing mobile inpatient care at home as an alternative inpatient care delivery model;
- Enhance Accident & Emergency outpatient coverage to Singapore Government Hospitals on ‘as charged’ basis;
- Expanding paediatric care direct access, without referral letters from age 7 to 12.
