Daily Hospital Cash

If the life assured is hospitalised for medical intervention directly due to the side effects caused by the COVID-19 vaccination within 7 days from the date the life assured received the dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, we pay a Daily Hospital Cash benefit of $100 per day of hospitalisation subject to a maximum of 14 days for each COVID-19 vaccination dosage.

Note: Day of hospitalisation means a period of 24 hours of hospitalisation. The first day of hospitalisation starts at the time of admission to the hospital and each subsequent day of hospitalisation starts 24 hours after the end of the previous day of hospitalisation. The day of discharge is considered as a day of hospitalisation if the time of discharge of the life assured from the hospital is more than 12 hours from the later of:

• the time of admission to the hospital; or
• the end of the previous day of hospitalisation.

Hospitalisation excludes short stay ward, Accident & Emergency ward and day surgery.

The COVID-19 vaccination needs to be authorised by the Singapore Health Sciences Authority or classified under the Special Access Route (SAR) and administered on the recommendation of a Registered Medical Practitioner. The side effects of COVID-19 vaccinations must also be diagnosed in Singapore by a Registered Medical Practitioner and the life assured has to be hospitalised in Singapore on the recommendation of a Registered Medical Practitioner.

Note: A Registered Medical Practitioner is any person properly qualified with a degree in western medicine to practise medicine and is licensed by the Singapore Medical Council to practise medicine within the scope of his licensing and training. This cannot be you, the life assured or a family member of either.
