Cost of health insurance in Singapore
Did you know that Singapore consistently ranks in the top spots when it comes to the cost of health insurance around the world? It’s no surprise as the Lion City is notorious for its high living costs. This year, the city-state moved up the ranking tables to bag the third spot for both individual and family health insurance plans (behind the US and Hong Kong) at USD $6,265 (up by 18%) and USD $17,803 (up by 22%), respectively.
Key drivers of health insurance costs
So, what are the drivers behind the rising costs of health insurance in Singapore? Whether it’s the aging population, high utilization of medical services, expat exodus (due to the pandemic), or digitization trends (such as telemedicine), there’s no shortage of factors to explain why the cost of health insurance in Singapore remains high.
Our very own Marta Kasperczak, Head of Individual Sales & Renewals at Pacific Prime Singapore, commented about some of these drivers:
“Digitalization and telehealth are two industry trends that stood out to me in 2021 and 2022. Whenever possible, most insurance services are digitized, as clients now expect everything to be done online. Likewise, telehealth is also the fastest growing sector. The increasing interest in, and need for, mental health benefits also deserves a mention. However, a major factor that is affecting business in Singapore right now is the fact that expats are leaving the island.”
