Good day to you. Aviva has launched a new product: Mycare Plus that can enhanced our current eldershield. Eldershield protects against old age disabilities by paying an amount every month. It is currently an opt out scheme for Singaporeans and can be paid by medisave.
New features for AVIVA MyCare Plus include :

2) Premium payment is now applicable for whole life only. (Mycare has choices of up till age 66 or for 20 years)
3) Waiting period – 90 days (unless inability to perform 3 or more ADL)

5) Rehabilitation benefit is taken out
