Foreign Worker Medical Insurance

Effective from 1st January 2010, employers are required to put into effect a foreign worker medical insurance for each of the foreign workers you employ under the following categories:

• Work permit including foreign domestic worker
• S Pass holder

This was implemented in tandem with the withdrawal of healthcare subsidies for foreigners. As an employer, you need to submit the insurance details online before the Work Permit can be issued.

What does Foreign Worker Medical Insurance cover

As an employer, you must buy and maintain medical insurance coverage of at least $15,000 per year for each Work Permit holder.

The insurance should cover inpatient care and day surgery, including hospital bills for conditions that may not be work related.

You can have a co-pay arrangement with the Work Permit holder only if all of the following are met:

• The medical treatment is not for work-related inpatient expenses.
• The co-pay amount is reasonable and does not exceed 10% of the worker’s monthly salary.
• The duration co-payment does not exceed 6 months.
• The co-payment option is explicitly in the employment contract or collective agreement and has the worker’s full consent.

MOM has specified that you cannot pass on the cost of purchasing the medical insurance to Work Permit holders.
