Essential insurance coverage for parents

“Life can be full of unexpected twists and turns – as a parent, protecting your family's financial future against unforeseen circumstances is important."

As parents, you’ve got a lot to care for: your kids, home, partner, and yourself. But when unexpected hospital bills or critical illnesses arise, it can quickly derail your plans and strain your finances. That’s why having the most essential protection is important.
 

Health insurance - covering your medical bills

Having health insurance is important, allowing you to get necessary treatment without worrying about heavy medical costs. Some coverage benefits to look out for include hospitalisation, treatment expenses before and after hospitalisation, prescriptions, and medical consultations.

An Integrated Shield Plan like Income’s Enhanced IncomeShield enhances your existing MediShield Life coverage, enabling you to access quality private hospital care. And since premiums can be supported with MediSave, you may not need to fork out cash, depending on your withdrawal limits and age.

Life Insurance - Preparing for the unexpected

Life can be full of unexpected twists and as a parent, your priority is to keep your loved ones financially secure, even if you’re no longer around. That’s where life insurance comes in. Here’s a look at the different types to help you choose what’s right for you and your family:


Term life insurance
 (e.g. 
TermLife Solitaire)

Whole life insurance
 (e.g. 
Complete Life Secure)

  • Suitable for parents seeking more affordable coverage to protect during a specific period
  • Has a specified coverage period (e.g. 10, 20, 30 years, etc)
  • Typically has lower premiums and doesn’t accumulate cash value

 

  • Suitable for parents looking to start holding a life insurance plan for life
  • Lifetime coverage period
  • Typically has higher premiums, and accumulates cash value over time

 

 


Purchasing life insurance may not be as complicated as you might think – you can get an estimate of your life insurance coverage needs here, or speak with us to make the right move for your specific needs.

Protect my children

Provide financial security for your children’s future

“No matter which stage of parenting you are at, insurance can serve as your partner to help safeguard your children’s future.”

Beyond the immediate needs of you as parents, you play a crucial role in your children’s lives, taking them through the journey of life and keeping them protected through the process. Here’s how insurance can play a crucial role to help meet your needs:

 

Preparing for Your Child’s Arrival – Maternity Insurance

Whether you are a first-time parent or having another child, it's important to consider the benefits of a maternity insurance plan before your little one arrives.

A maternity insurance plan like Income’s Maternity 360 covers both you and your baby during pregnancy, childbirth, and after delivery. It could protect your finances from unexpected medical costs due to pregnancy complications, or post-childbirth treatments for your newborn.

 

Protecting Your Child’s Health – Integrated Shield Plan (IP)

As parents, safeguarding your child’s health is an important priority. With Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) like Enhanced IncomeShield, they can receive quality healthcare when it matters most. It’s relatively affordable as premiums are payable with MediSave (up to the Additional Withdrawal Limits1, excluding riders), and provides an important layer of coverage for medical and hospitalisation expenses designed to help protect your child’s health. You get the peace of mind knowing they have access to the care they need, when they need it.

Protect My Children

Safeguarding from injuries and diseases – Personal Accident plan

Kids tend to engage in an active lifestyle, from sports to childhood games, and are prone to injuries. But even for those who are not too physically active, you might still worry about accidents or even infectious diseases.

Well, explore a personal accident plan like PA Assurance, so you could be financially covered for such unexpected scenarios. Get coverage for the whole family and enjoy 40% off your child’s premiums2 by insuring them under the same policy with either you or your spouse. With optional infectious cover, you can also be protected against 25 infectious diseases3 such as Chicken Pox, Shingles, Dengue Fever, HFMD (Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease) and more.

No matter which stage of parenting you are at, insurance can serve as your partner to help provide security and peace of mind. Speak with us today to get personalised recommendations for your needs!

 

Protect my parents

The gift of protection as a form of love to your parents

“As they grow older, the risk of slips, falls, and unexpected accidents increases. That’s why insurance remains a sensible choice.”

Besides being a parent yourself, you may also play the role of a caregiver to your elderly parents who have spent years caring for you. Now, it’s your turn to protect them! Get the right types of insurance to keep them financially protected.


Injuries and Falls – Personal Accident Insurance

As they grow older, the risk of slips, falls, and unexpected accidents increases. That’s why personal accident insurance remains a sensible choice. A plan like SilverCare is designed for your elderly parents, as it is renewable for life4 with entry age from 50 to 75 and no medical checkup required. With coverage against accidents and infectious diseasessuch as Shingles, MPox, Dengue fever, and HFMD (Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease), it eases the financial burden of their medical expenses and recovery.

Save for the future

Secure a prosperous future with wise financial moves

Starting early gives your money more time to grow through compounding and smart investing."

Juggling your family’s expenses is not easy. But beyond short term expenses, don’t forget to plan for the long run! Whether you're saving for your child’s education, future milestones, or your own retirement, starting early gives your money more time to grow through compounding and smart investing.

By building your financial foundation now, you can enjoy greater peace of mind later—and potentially reduce the need to rely on your children when you reach your golden years.

Save For The Future

If you have a higher risk appetite, you could potentially reap higher returns by opting for an investment-linked plan (ILP) which is a hybrid financial product that combines investment and protection. An ILP may come with increased investment risk that may impact your principal investment amount. When you purchase an ILP such as Income’s Invest Flex Vantage, your premiums are used to invest in sub-funds chosen, and these funds are managed by experienced financial professionals.

If you have a higher risk appetite, you may have the opportunity to get higher returns depending on market performance, by opting for an investment-linked plan (ILP) which is a hybrid insurance product that combines investment and protection. An ILP comes with increased investment risk that may impact your principal investment amount. When you purchase an ILP such as Income’s Invest Flex Vantage, your premiums are used to invest in sub-funds chosen by you, and these funds are managed by experienced investment professionals.

If you have a lower risk appetite, you may consider insurance savings plans such as Gro Saver Flex Pro, as it comes with capital guarantee17 upon maturity. This means you can at least get back all the premiums paid, excluding premiums on optional rider(s), on top of the non-guaranteed bonuses18. This only applies to single premium and regular premium policies paid yearly.

And to save for your retirement, you may consider Gro Retire Flex Pro II, a flexible insurance savings plan that lets you enjoy a steady stream of income with the freedom to choose your premium payment terms and even adjust when your cash payouts begin by up to 5 years19,20.

Regardless of your choice, starting early is crucial to building a good financial foundation. Depending on the features and performance of your chosen ILP or insurance savings plan, you could get a financial head start while enjoying protection benefits such as life coverage or retrenchment support.
