News and Media Release

SINGAPORE | 1 March 2022 – Multi award-winning insurer, HL Assurance, today announces the launch of Hospital Protect 360, a hospital income protection policy that is designed to bolster the unexpected financial expenses incurred in the event of unforeseen accidents or illnesses. The new policy provides daily cash pay outs of up to S$900 per day in the event of hospitalisation, and a S$10,000 COVID-19 lump sum benefit. These benefits under the new Hospital Protect 360 policy will be claimable on top of the existing policies the insured policyholder has.

“At HL Assurance, we understand that unplanned expenses can be disruptive for future planning and hinder individuals from their financial milestones. Moreover, it may come as a rude shock for anyone to deal with unforeseen injury or illness, and the hospitalisation bills that comes along with it.” says Kelvin Lim, CEO at HL Assurance. Lim continues “With the launch of Hospital Protect 360, we want to give our customers a peace of mind when faced with the need for hospital treatments. The new policy seeks to give our customers the protection they deserve, while safeguarding their financial milestones, and provide them with the financial supplement they need to bolster these unforeseen costs.”

  • Daily Hospital Cash Benefit: Payouts of up to S$300 per day in the event of hospitalisation, for up to 365 days
  • Triple Hospital Cash Benefit: Payouts of up to S$900 per day in the event of ICU hospitalisation, for up to 30 days
  • Recuperation Benefit: Claim up to S$100 per day for up to 30 days for each day you are given a medical certificate, after a week of hospitalisation
  • Reimbursement Benefit: Reimbursements of up to S$500 per policy year for ambulance and transportation expenses to and from hospitals for follow ups or re-admissions, within 90 days from date of discharge
  • Special COVID-19 benefit: Lump sum benefit of S$10,000 in the event policyholder is hospitalised for 5 days or more due to a serious COVID-19 infection, or death resulting directly from COVID-19
