What GREAT Maid Protect covers

Great Eastern offers four comprehensive plans. All cover up to S$90,000 of hospitalisation and surgical expenses worldwide, which is above MOM's S$60,000 requirement.

Hospitalisation cover extends to communicable diseases such as COVID-19, H1N1, HFMD, SARS and tuberculosis, and to overseas medical emergencies during approved home leave.

The four plans and the co-payment

GREAT Maid Protect has four plans. The two entry plans are named Nanny and Silver; the two higher plans sit above them. The key difference is the co-payment:

  • Nanny and Silver plans: if hospital and surgical claims exceed S$15,000 in a policy year, you pay a 25% co-payment on the amount above S$15,000.
  • The two higher plans: remove that co-payment.

The full tier-by-tier schedule (including the two higher plan names and their exact limits) is shown on Great Eastern's own page; check it before you choose.

How MOM's medical rule works

Every MOM-approved FDW policy must cover at least S$60,000 of medical per year, and the policy runs 14 or 26 months , two months longer than the work permit, per MOM's rule. The insurer pays the first S$15,000 of admissible claims in full; above that a co-payment may apply depending on your plan. See our coverage details and security bond guide.

Great Eastern does not publish a flat premium on its page; the price depends on the plan, your helper's age and the term, and is generated as a quote. For a like-for-like comparison across MOM-approved insurers tailored to your helper, see our helper insurance page.

How much is Great Eastern maid insurance?

Great Eastern does not publish a flat premium on its page; the price depends on the plan, your helper's age and the policy term (14 or 26 months), and is generated as a quote. Get a current quote rather than relying on a fixed figure.

Why is the policy 14 or 26 months, not 12 or 24?

MOM requires FDW insurance and the security bond to run two months longer than the work permit, so the helper stays covered if she overstays for any reason after the permit expires. That is why maid policies are 14 or 26 months.
