10 Best Cancer Insurance in Singapore to Protect Yourself [2024]

The number of people down with cancer has been on an upward trajectory. Before taking out cancer insurance in Singapore, there are a few factors to consider. Do you have a history of cancer running in the family? What is your existing health condition?

Critical illness policies provide a lump sum payout in the event you are diagnosed with a disease covered under the plan. However, buying a large coverage or early-stage critical illness plan can be quite costly for some. Here are our top 10 picks to get yourself insured today!

1. PRUCancer 360

PRUCancer 360 is a cancer insurance plan with a regular premium term that provides coverage up till age 100, against all stages of cancer. It offers simple, affordable, and customisable protection coverage against cancer.

What We Like About PRUCancer 360

Customisable cancer insurance – Get protected according to your needs, with a sum assured from $10,000 up to $300,000. I would say PRUCancer is good for basic coverage though we did not find any additional wow factor that puts it above other industry offerings.

The Medical Second Opinion service – for one to have their diagnosis or treatment plan evaluated by a team of expert physicians, done by Mediguide, a US-based company.

The CancerCare Plus plan is an insurance plan which provides a lump sum payment in the event of a Major Cancer or Early Stage Cancer diagnosis.

What We Like About TIQ Cancer Insurance

No Claim Discount – As long as no claims have been made during the previous year’s policy term, a no-claim discount equivalent to 6% of the total premium paid for the previous year’s policy term will be applied to the renewal premium.

This would be suitable for one perhaps with a lower probability of cancer, that for every year of renewal, a discount would be given on the renewal premium.

9. Allianz Cancer Protect

Akin to many other standalone cancer insurance plans, the Allianz Cancer Protect plan offers multiple plans – silver, gold and platinum, for one to find a plan which best suits their needs. However, do note that this policy is not a Medisave-approved policy and you may not use Medisave to pay the premium for this Policy.

What We Like about Allianz Cancer Protect

One of them has got to be the 25% discount on first-year premiums and the other would be the monthly income benefit where the patient can claim up to S$3,500 monthly for 12 months for income supplement while focusing on recovery. Allianz Cancer Protect is one of the few policies offering a discount on first-year premiums, providing an even greater incentive for taking up this policy.

10. Singlife Cancer Plan

What We Like About the Singlife Cancer Plan

The most basic cancer plan offers basic cancer coverage for late-stage diagnosis, with fees starting as low as S$7.10 per month for a S$60,000 cover.
