AIA Singapore launches new policy features vs COVID-19

The enhancements are available to HealthShield Gold Max policyholders.

AIA Singapore has rolled out enhancements to its HealthShield Gold Max policy in a bid to further protect policyholders and their dependents from COVID-19, according to a news release.

The insurer will cover the costs of video medical consultations provided by tele-medicine services provider WhiteCoat for its HealthShield Gold Max policyholders, who can avail of the service through the AIA Healthcare App.

A pre-negotiated rate of $12 (US$8.46) per consultation will be charged if policyholders have already utilised 50,000 video consultations.

AIA will also extend claims pre-authorisation to cover all non-emergency admissions and day surgeries at all private hospitals and healthcare providers across the country. Pre-authorisation is already available for policyholders seeking treatment with AIA Quality Healthcare Partners, effective 15 April. Pre-authorisation is not required for emergency treatments including COVID-19 cases, as eligible claims will be accepted automatically.

HealthShield Gold Max policyholders can easily activate pre-authorisation through the My AIA SG mobile app and the AIA Singapore website.

AIA will also be setting up a dedicated 24/7 policy hotline which will be available 15 April.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
