PRUHospital Care360, a hospital income insurance plan, offers additional financial security and peace of mind
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 May 2025 – Prudential Singapore (“Prudential”) has launched PRUHospital Care360, a hospital income insurance plan designed to provide financial support to individuals for their unexpected hospital stays and the subsequent recovery period. The plan provides a daily income if the life assured is hospitalised due to illness or injury, as well as lump sum benefits for post-hospitalisation recuperation and day surgery.
Dr Sidharth Kachroo, Chief Health Officer, Prudential Singapore, said: “Most people in Singapore have health insurance, but extended illnesses or injuries can result in periods of time where one cannot work, impacting your income. Unplanned hospitalisations entail additional expenses which are challenging for primary breadwinners with dependents, self-employed individuals and freelancers without fixed income. PRUHospital Care360 can provide individuals with the peace of mind knowing that they will have extra income to pay for unforeseen expenses.”
According to data from the Ministry of Health in Singapore, the average length of stay in public hospitals is about 7 days[1]. Depending on the ward and hospital type, daily charges can range from less than a hundred to a few hundred dollars or more. Hospital income plans give customers the flexibility to use the payouts according to their needs. It can be used to replace income for their daily expenses or cope with non-medical expenses such as caregiver help or home modifications to assist with rehabilitation.
Besides standard benefits like daily hospital income, PRUHospital Care360 is a unique plan that offers additional income for hospital stays due to an accident as well as infectious disease.
In addition, PRUHospital Care360 policyholders can access a range of value-added services with partner healthcare institutions to help them access quality healthcare more seamlessly. These include health screening and vaccination packages, chronic care management programmes, traditional Chinese medicine treatment[2] and teleconsultations to manage their health better.
Added Dr Kachroo: “Healthcare extends beyond coverage, and it is also about enabling people to proactively manage their wellbeing. We offer easy and affordable access to health screening and vaccinations to support preventive care and ongoing health maintenance. This approach contributes to a healthier population, reduces long-term healthcare costs and helps people live well for longer.”
