Here’s Why As A New Mum, I Prefer Mini-Plans That Suit My Specific Needs Over One-Size-Fits-All Policies

A 2021 report suggests that healthcare benefit costs for Singapore employers will likely see a 9 per cent increase come 2022. Plus, a global pandemic plaguing the world for over two years now adds to the worries of the general public, especially new parents like me.

First-time mums like myself are generally in a state of worry for their babies’ health and well being. Furthermore, keeping up with the additional increasing expenses is equally challenging. To address these concerns, I have learnt to lean on customized mini insurance plans, such as Prudential’s PRUSafe Guard 22 that cater to my specific needs without breaking the bank. 

PRUSafe Guard 22 helps new parents by addressing specific worries and needs without having them commit to an insurance plan full-on. This is an ideal option for those who are not ready to commit to a full-fledged plan yet or are simply looking for something very affordable and customized. 

For example, parents who live in a neighbourhood with increasing dengue clusters can sign up for PRUSafe Dengue and those concerned about the COVID-19 virus can get the PRUSafe GUard 22 + PRUSafe COVIDCover.

Prudential’s mini-plans act as a starter pack for new parents, freelancers, and anyone looking to kickstart their protection journey. It's an ideal "mini-step" to get started.

Now, why Prudential?

Now that we have established the benefits of mini-plans over one-size-fits-all full-fledged ones at least for those looking to get started on their protection journey with affordable options, let us understand why Prudential is an ideal choice to turn to.
