Patients will soon benefit from an integrated platform that allows faster processing of hospitalisation claims and offers more convenient access to their insurance policy details.
The General Insurance Association Singapore (GIA Singapore), Life Insurance Association Singapore (LIA Singapore) and Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS) are calling for proposals to develop the end-to-end health insurance claims platform.
After it is developed, the platform will be deployed in a live pilot scheme, with policyholders from participating insurer Great Eastern the first to gain access. It will eventually be scaled up and adopted nationwide.

Once the vast majority of the population is protected against Covid-19, Singapore should be able to fully open its borders, and life can start returning to normal.
But that can happen only if everyone who is eligible gets vaccinated.
The question is: Will all such people be willing to get inoculated?
If significant numbers don t, it can jeopardise the entire programme.
This is because eligible people who do not get vaccinated not only put themselves at risk - which we can argue is their choice - but will also endanger children and those who, for medical reasons, are not suitable for the vaccine.
SINGAPORE - The Ministry of Health (MOH) has welcomed the latest measures by private insurers to adjust the terms for those on existing Integrated Shield Plans (IP) with riders that cover hospital bills in full.
MOH said on Thursday (Feb 11) that these changes, together with other efforts by the Government such as the publication of fee benchmarks, will further encourage prudent use of healthcare services, and keep healthcare costs sustainable for all Singaporeans . IP policyholders can continue to tap on their MediSave to pay for their co-payment amounts under all riders, subject to the MediSave withdrawal limits, the ministry told The Straits Times.
