For full pay-out upon diagnosis of cancer: FWD Cancer insurance or Allianz Cancer Protect
Unlike typical cancer plans that stagger pay-outs into early and advanced stages, FWD Cancer insurance and Allianz Cancer Protect offers a full pay-out upon diagnosis of cancer. This allows you to receive your pay-out at an earlier stage and eliminates any financial worries that you may have of being unable to afford the appropriate treatment for your illness.
(See "Best Cancer Insurance Singapore")
For customisable sum assured levels: TM Protect Cancer
While most cancer plans offer plans with coverage levels that are pre-determined, TM Cancer Protect offers the flexibility to customise your coverage level. This means that you can choose to increase your coverage in increments of $1,000, with a minimum of $50,000 sum assured and a maximum of $150,000 sum assured.
For a monthly income replacement benefit while you recover: Allianz Cancer Protect
The daily hospitalisation cash benefit is no longer available in new integrated shield plan riders. While cancer plans will provide a lump sum pay-out that can either help to offset your treatment costs or serve as income replacement during your recovery period, Allianz goes one step further with a monthly income benefit. This benefit provides up to 12 months of monthly income benefit while you recover, thus allowing you to receive additional income during your recovery period.

For a higher coverage: FWD Cancer insurance
While FWD Cancer insurance does not offer customisable coverage levels, the three pre-determined coverage levels are at varying levels thus making it suitable to be considered by individuals with varying needs. Furthermore, at $200,000 sum assured, FWD Cancer insurance offers the highest coverage levels for cancer plans.
Additionally, unlike cancer plans from other insurers, the entry age for FWD cancer insurance starts from just 18 years old. This therefore allows individuals to get protected at a younger age.
