Health Insurance for Start-Ups and Entrepreneurs

Cigna Singapore makes it easy, efficient and affordable for you to care for your employees.

Caring for employees' health and wellbeing

For many start-ups, the talent challenge is real. Your ability to find, hire and keep the right people has a direct impact on the growth and success of your business. The most successful start-ups have a culture that puts their people front and centre. This means caring for their health, wellness and wellbeing - and group health insurance can help.

Quality care

Your employees' health, wellbeing and morale, especially in a fast-paced start-up environment, can weigh on your bottom-line.

No start-up is too small for medical insurance

The moment you begin hiring for your start-up, you take on a duty of care to your employees. To support you on this journey, we have developed a simple and flexible group health insurance plan specifically to cater to the needs of start-ups with 2 to 19 employees.

Your frequently asked questions

It is common practice to offer group health insurance as part of a caring and competitive Total Rewards package, as most organisations recognise the link between employee well-being and job performance. Medical insurance is required for the employment of work permit and S Pass holders.

If you’re a solo entrepreneur without any employees at the moment, we recommend our individual health insurance plan. When you start hiring, you can opt for our group health insurance plan for start-ups to provide your employees with coverage.

Group health insurance usually comes under the purview of the HR department. However, our solutions are designed to be simple, easy and efficient to manage and administer. Our customers and their employees use our Cigna Care Connect online portal and mobile app to quickly and conveniently manage their company health plans, from submitting paper-less claims to tracking usage and more.
