Foreign Worker Medical Insurance
Under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Regulations, employers are responsible for the costs of providing medical treatment (both inpatient and outpatient) for their work permit holders, regardless of whether the conditions are work-related. Employers are required to purchase mandatory medical insurance of at least S$15,000 per foreign worker. This provides basic cover for hospitalization expenses, including non-work related injuries or illnesses; and bear the cost of medical expenses in excess of, or not covered by medical insurance or work injury compensation.
