There are so many private disability insurance products. When should I buy Supplements?
If you are insured on CareShield Life/ElderShield, you may consider whether the benefits of the current CareShield Life/ElderShield scheme suits your long-term care preferences. If you wish to have additional coverage or benefits on top of the CareShield Life/ElderShield scheme, you may consider purchasing a Supplement plan.
You may refer to careshieldlife.gov.sg (under “Supplements”) for a comparison of Supplement plans offered by private insurers (Aviva, Great Eastern, or NTUC Income). More information about CareShield Life Supplements after the launch of CareShield Life on 1 October 2020.
You may also wish to speak to a financial advisor from one of the private insurers who can share more about their Supplement plans and their implications.
