MSIG Cancer Insurance: Who Will It Benefit?
ValueChampion Rating 
Pros
- Customers looking for affordable top-up coverage
- Generally healthy, young customers
Cons
- Older consumers looking for cheap cancer-only coverage
- People looking for traditional critical illness plans
MSIG's CancerCare Plus insurance is a critical illness plan that offers exclusively cancer coverage. It can be a suitable choice for customers who have substantial health and life insurance but want a bit of a protection boost for cheap. On the other hand, it is costly for older customers compared to its competitors and the smaller coverage may not appeal to people looking for high coverage critical illness plans.

Highlights of MSIG CancerCare Plus: What You Should Know
MSIG's CancerCare Plus is a competitively priced cancer insurance plan that can appeal to younger demographics looking for affordable cancer coverage. It provides S$100,000 of coverage if you get diagnosed with a major cancer along with a 50% early cancer accelerator benefit. If you get diagnosed with early stage cancer, you will receive S$50,000 and upon diagnosis of a major cancer later on in life, you will get the remaining S$50,000. You can buy this plan if you are between the ages of 20 and 64 and it will automatically renew until you turn 84.
One of the major benefits of this plan is the pricing. It costs 47-64% less than its closest competitor, FWD, for customers between the ages of 25-45. However, while CancerCare Plus may be suitable for people who already have plenty of health and life insurance coverage and are looking for something simple to cover any gaps, it may not benefit people looking for substantial coverage. This includes people looking for comprehensive critical illness plans or cancer plans with more than S$100,000 of coverage. Furthermore, we recommend opting for FWD's cancer insurance (the most similar alternative) if you are between the ages of 50-64 due to MSIG's higher premiums. We also recommend FWD as an alternative if you have 2 or more family members diagnosed with cancer, as you won't be able to receive coverage under MSIG's plan.
