If you have Type 2 diabetes, it is a long-term metabolic disorder that is characterised by high blood sugar.
Insurance application is difficult but 'll share with you 4 special plans to look at
1) Raffles Shield A with Raffles hospital option
2) AVIVA MyCoreCI plan
3) AIA diabetes care plan
4) Merdeka Care Personal accident plan
Plan #1: Raffles Shield Plan A with Raffles Hospital option
We've helped many apply with the following conditions to apply for Raffles Shield Plan
1) Have hypertension
2) Have cholesterol
3) Have diabetes
If you have only diabetes condition, this is the ONLY medical plan that may offer you coverage.
Our team has experience putting in applications for the Raffles Shield Plan A with Raffles Hospital option.
Note: Other integrated shield plans would have likely declined your application.
In a nut shell, Raffles health can offer you their medical insurance coverage BUT with extra premium of up to 200%. In addition, application will be also subjected to other health status that you may have.
An example of a counter offer looks like something below.
Premiums would be few hundred to few thousand dollars more depending on your age BUT at least you can get full coverage!
Note: Raffles Shield Plan A with RH option is only for Singaporeans and PR.
Our team at TheAstuteParent was specially invited for a tour to Raffles Hospital at product launch. See video below to know how Raffles Hospital looks on the inside!
A further requirement is that you would need to enrol into the Raffles Care network (PCN) or Polyclinic (CDMP).
Medical reports and relevant test must be submitted at point of application and at every consultation.
I'd brief you more on it during our preliminary appointment

Case study of AVIVA MyCore CI for applicant with diabetes
I've a private client who has diabetes and cholesterol. He is aged 56.
This are actual figures for $100,000 coverage.
Original premium for the MyCoreCI plan till age 80 for him would be only $2,450.
With the medical declarations, total loading is almost 3x! This is mainly due to the Type2 diabetes condition.
Most of the extra premium came from the "Critical illness" and "Diabetic conditions" benefits.
The AIA Diabetes care plan was even more expensive.
Premiums would be $6,930 for $100,000 sum assured.
With cancer care rider added, it would be $9,530.
Plan #4: NTUC Income MerdekaCare Plan
This is a personal accident plan and only for Singaporeans.
If you have diabetes condition with Insulin Injection, NTUC Income can only accept Basic plan.
If it is only oral medication, NTUC Income can accept applications all plans.
