Family Insurance for Expats: Covering Your Spouse and Kids in Singapore

If you've moved to Singapore with your family, insurance gets more complex. Your spouse on a Dependant Pass has no employer coverage. Your children on Student Passes aren't covered by school insurance for serious conditions. Everyone needs their own protection.

For spouses, the priority is comprehensive health insurance. Dependant Pass holders can't work, so there's no employer plan to fall back on. A private hospitalisation plan ($300–$500/month) gives your spouse access to quality care without financial stress.

For children, health insurance is essential but also relatively affordable. Kids' plans typically cost $100–$200/month and cover hospitalisation, day surgery, and often specialist outpatient visits. Some plans include dental and vision.

Don't forget maternity coverage if you're planning to expand your family in Singapore. Most plans require a 10–12 month waiting period for maternity benefits, so plan ahead. Delivery at a private hospital costs $10,000–$20,000+.

For the whole family, consider whether you want individual plans (more flexibility, each person optimised) or a family plan (simpler administration, sometimes cheaper). We can model both options for you.
