VHIS Standard plan comparison

This page lines up 6 flagship Standard Plan VHIS plans — AIA Voluntary Health Insurance Standard Scheme, AXA WiseGuard Medical Insurance Plan, Bupa MyBasic VHIS Plan, PRUHealth CoreChoice Medical Plan, Manulife Shelter VHIS Standard Plan and vCore Medical Plan — side by side across ward class, benefit limits, geographical coverage and reference premium, so you can see where each one sits on each dimension.

The plans are ordered by coverage breadth, not by preference. There is no single best plan — the right choice depends on your budget, treatment region and family needs, ideally after a financial needs analysis.
