Case Study – The Case for Global Health Insurance
The Situation
Steve has recently moved from Sydney to Singapore and has started playing Australian Rules Football here. As a new expat in Singapore, he’s making the most of the lifestyle, making new friends and settling into his new job. Steve met with us to review his current health insurance and ensure that he had adequate cover should anything happen to him while he’s living in Singapore.
The Solution
We reviewed Steve’s current health insurance policy and found that he would not have adequate cover while living in Singapore. We therefore helped him to replace this policy and ensure that he could be covered for ambulance and any treatments that might result from playing football in particular. By reviewing a range of health insurers, we were able to find a competitive premium and ensure Steve had the right cover.
Scenario
Unfortunately during one of Steve’s football matches, while taking a mark, he landed awkwardly and damaged his knee. After the game, his knee swelled and the pain increased. He quickly called his health insurance provider and was provided with the recommendations of a number of surgeons to speak with. He was also provided with relevant information about possible treatments by the insurance specialist. After surgery and a treatment period of 6 weeks, Steve’s medical expenses of $11,300 were covered by his health insurance provider. His insurance premium is just $2,300 per annum.
