The hidden costs of recovering from critical illness
About this episode
The episode discusses the financial implications of recovering from a critical illness, highlighting the costs and challenges faced during recovery.
Surviving a critical illness may be only the start of the financial journey. A Singlife study estimates that recovery can cost around S$170,000 and stretch for an average of 27 months, with expenses extending beyond medical treatment. Andrea Heng speaks with Singlife Group Head of Products Helen Shen about the “recovery gap”, including out-of-pocket expenses, lost income and caregiving.
