Your premiums can be paid using your CPF Ordinary and/or Special Account. As long as you have sufficient funds, no out-of-pocket cash is required. The premium will be deducted yearly based on your attained age for the maximum sum assured of S$70,000 up to the end of the policy year during which you turn 60 years old. After which, your maximum sum assured is S$55,000 up to the end of the policy year during which you turn 65 years old.

One month before your renewal date, a notification letter will be sent to you. If there are insufficient funds in both accounts for a minimum cover of S$5,000, we will also notify you and no premium will be deducted from your CPF account. You may then choose to make payment through other methods available.

Health Condition

Existing Policyholders

From 1 April 2021, Great Eastern Life will be the sole DPS insurer. Members currently insured under DPS do not need to submit a new Health Declaration form for illnesses that developed on or after the commencement of their DPS covers. This applies to insured members who are already under Great Eastern Life or have their policies transferred from NTUC Income.

However, should members have a pre-existing illness that existed before the original commencement date of their DPS policy which was not declared to their insurer previously, they should inform Great Eastern Life by submitting a new health declaration.

New Joiner / Applicant

If you are a new joiner or applicant, eligibility for a DPS cover is subject to you being in good health at the point of policy commencement. You must declare and fully disclose all information regarding your health, including, but not limited to:

All your past and current illnesses;
Any surgery/treatment medical test that you had previously undergone or will be undergoing; and
Any physical or mental impairment.

Otherwise, it may affect your future claims and your insurance policy may not be valid.
