AIA SG expands mental health coverage for corporate insurance policies

Over 1.3 million employees are expected to benefit from the expanded policies.

AIA Singapore has expanded inpatient coverage for mental health care for its corporate insurance policies, at no additional premium.

Beginning January 2025, corporate employees insured by AIA Singapore— estimated at over 1.3 million people— will receive enhanced support for their mental wellness under the Group Hospital & Surgical Insurance (GHS).

The insurer is also raising the age limit for senior workers and expanding paediatric care direct access without referral letters from age 7 to age 12.

The expansions come after the AIA Live Better Study 2024 found that over half (59%) of Singapore consumers indicated that they need or might need more resources or support for mental wellness, identifying affordability (66%), accessibility (53%), and presence of workplace initiatives (51%) as essential resources and support required.

Other key corporate policy changes include treatment for in-patient mental care being on ‘as charged’ basis; introducing mobile impatient care at home as an alternative inpatient care delivery model; and enhancing accident and emergency outpatient coverage to Singapore government hospitals on an ‘as charged’ basis.

Employees are also granted complimentary access to WhiteCoat’s Plan Ahead Services (PAS).

This is expected to simplify the process of obtaining necessary legal documents, such as a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) and Advance Medical Directive (AMD).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
