Best Cancer Insurance
A Guide for Expats in Singapore
Learn what to look for in cancer insurance and how to choose the right protection for your needs.
What is Cancer Insurance?
Cancer insurance is a health insurance product designed to cover the costs of diagnosing, treating, and managing cancer. It can be part of a comprehensive health insurance plan or purchased as a standalone policy.
For expats in Singapore, cancer insurance offers peace of mind in a country where medical care is excellent but expensive — especially for advanced treatments.
What Makes a Good Cancer Insurance Plan?
When evaluating cancer insurance, look for:
Wide coverage: Includes diagnostics, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapies, and follow-up care.
Access to top hospitals: Ensure the plan covers private hospitals and specialist centres in Singapore.
Cash benefits: Some policies provide a lump sum upon diagnosis, giving you financial flexibility.
Global coverage (if needed): If you want access to treatment outside Singapore, choose a plan with international options.
No or low co-pay: Check how much you’ll have to pay out-of-pocket for cancer-related care.
💡 Tip: Many comprehensive health insurance plans for expats already include robust cancer coverage — a broker can help you check.
Risks and Considerations
Waiting periods: Some cancer benefits only start after a waiting period, so check the fine print.
Pre-existing conditions: A diagnosis before taking out the policy may not be covered.
Plan limits: Ensure coverage limits are high enough for modern cancer treatments, which can be very costly.
