Income Insurance unveils mental wellness insurance plan

Subscribers must be recommended by a psychiatrist to undergo psychotherapy.

Income Insurance Limited has introduced the industry's first standalone mental wellness insurance plan called the "SNACK Self Care Pack."

The subscription-based plan, available for S$9.90 per month through the SNACK by Income mobile app, provides coverage for psychiatric consultations and psychotherapy sessions without the need for inpatient hospitalisation or post-hospitalisation conditions.

The launch follows the introduction of Star Secure Pro, which offers additional protection for five specific mental health conditions, including Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and Tourette Syndrome.

Recent data from the Ministry of Health (MOH) indicates an increased prevalence of poor mental health in Singapore, with more people willing to seek help from health professionals in 2022 compared to 2019.

Peter Tay, Chief Digital Officer at Income Insurance, highlighted the barriers individuals face when seeking mental health treatment, including cost and uncertainty about the seriousness of their condition.

Key features of the plan include coverage of up to S$200 per month for psychiatric consultations and up to S$500 per month for psychotherapy sessions.

Subscribers must be recommended by a psychiatrist to undergo psychotherapy and may not be eligible for claims within 12 months unless the coverage is for a different condition.

The plan operates on a flexible monthly payment subscription model, allowing users to start and pause their coverage as needed, with claims easily made through the app.

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.
