Frequently asked questions

How much does Now Health International cost?+

The cheapest premium is SGD 45 for a Singapore plan. That sits above the €8.31 typical starting premium across the site, so budget above the market floor. Prices are quoted per market, so your country can differ.

What cover is available?+

Health is the only line the group offers, with the annual maximum set at SGD 1.3M annual maximum (SimpleCare CORE) for one Singapore plan. There is no bundled motor, home or life cover, so anything beyond health needs another provider.

How do I pay for cover?+

Monthly payments are available, which spreads the cost across the year. Paying monthly rather than in one bill suits people whose income arrives monthly or who want a predictable outgoing each month.

How do I make a claim?+

Claims are filed online or through the mobile app, both listed in online and mobile app. There is no phone or branch route for claims, so a claim means going through one of those two channels.

Who regulates the insurer?+

Now Health International is a group insurer headquartered in Hong Kong, where the relevant authority is the Insurance Authority (Hong Kong). The group also lists authorities in Singapore, Malta, the United Kingdom, Bermuda and the UAE.

Is it an insurer or a broker?+

It is an insurer, so the group underwrites the cover rather than placing it with another provider. The legal entity behind the Asian business is Now Health International (Asia Pacific) Limited, based in Hong Kong.

Who is the cover aimed at?+

The audience is expats, so the products are built around people living outside their home country. That focus shows in the markets covered across Asia and the Middle East.

What support is available?+

Support runs through email, phone and a help centre, all of which appear in email, phone and help centre. That mix covers both quick questions and longer ones, though claims themselves are handled online or in the app.
