Looking for a maid insurance policy to cover your new maid?

Here’s a tip: Choose an insurance package that not only adequately protects your maid with accident and medical coverage, but also guards you against liabilities and unexpected expenses.

Tiq Maid is a policy that does exactly that! It provides comprehensive coverage for both you and your helper, and is one of the most affordable plan in town. Here are 3 compelling reasons why you should choose Tiq Maid Insurance:

1. Tiq Maid Insurance’s comprehensive coverage gives you peace of mind

In Singapore, it seems like hardly a day goes by without news of an unfortunate incident involving a foreign domestic worker. Some maids sustain injuries while working at home, while others get into accidents on their days off. Accidents involving maids are more common than we realise.

With Tiq Maid Insurance, your helper is adequately covered with hospitalisation and surgical benefits in the event of an accident. You, as the employer, are also safeguarded against a wide range of risks.

Benefits for your maid

• Personal accident protection: Tiq Maid Insurance protects your maid with high policy cover for accidental death and permanent disability. For the lowest-tier plan, the coverage is $60,000 for accidental death; that for the highest-tier plan is $70,000. For medical expenses due to accidents or injuries, Tiq Maid Insurance covers up to $3,000.
• Hospitalisation and surgery: When an illness or accident happens, your maid can get the medical care she needs with Tiq Maid Insurance. The policy covers $15,000 per year for hospital and surgical bills. This benefit covers inpatient treatment and day surgery, as well as follow-up outpatient treatment, up to 90 days from the date of discharge.
• Repatriation: If your maid cannot work for you anymore due to illness or injury that has resulted in total permanent disability, you need to send her home. The plan covers $10,000 for repatriation expenses.

Benefits for you, the employer

• Termination or rehiring expenses: If you need to hire replacement help in the event of your maid’s permanent disability or death, Tiq Maid Insurance covers your termination or rehiring expenses up to $350.
• Wages and levy reimbursement: If your maid cannot work due to hospitalisation, you can claim pro-rata reimbursement of her salary and the maid levy, up to $30 per day.
• Alternative maid services: Need alternative help during your maid’s hospitalisation? Make use of the policy’s daily benefit (up to $20 per day) to help you do so.
• Recuperation benefit: Receive a daily benefit of up to $20 per day while your maid is hospitalised.
• Security bond: You don’t have to pay the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) the security bond of $5,000 upfront. Tiq Maid Insurance provides a Letter of Guarantee to MOM as your guarantor.
• Maid’s liability: If your maid accidentally causes bodily harm to a third party or accidentally damages a third party’s property, Tiq Maid Insurance provides you with indemnity of up to $10,000. You can also enhance the sum insured for this benefit to up to $75,000.
• Cover against abuse: Although it is uncommon, maids can sometimes abuse the families of their employers. This benefit, which is rare in other insurers’ policies, compensates you for up to S$5,000 in medical expenses if your maid abuses your child, elderly relative, or disabled relative.

2. Tiq Maid Insurance can be customised with add-ons to meet your needs

Tiq Maid Insurance is very flexible, allowing you to tailor your policy to your maid’s and your own needs with useful add-ons. You can build a comprehensive plan that shields you and your maid from risks!

• COVID-19 coverage: It is prudent to be prepared for COVID-19 during in these unprecedented times. Tiq Maid Insurance covers your maid’s COVID-19 hospitalisation and surgical bills while she is on her Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore. Your maid will also receive free coverage for the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine.
• Letter of Guarantee to Philippines Overseas Labour Office (POLO): If your maid is from the Philippines, she needs a Letter of Guarantee for her home leave every 2 years. We issue the letter to POLO on your behalf, so you don’t have to fork out the full $7,000 for the security bond.
• Critical illness coverage: We can’t predict what’s waiting for us around the corner, and a critical illness may strike anyone, anytime. Your maid can get a lump-sum payout of up to $20,000 if she contracts a critical illness.
• Top-up hospitalisation and surgical coverage: Medical and hospital bills can quickly mount if your maid sustains serious injuries or illnesses. As such, you may decide to add a sum insured of up to S$25,000 for hospitalisation and surgical charges.
• Home cover: If your home contents are damaged by a fire caused by your maid, or if they are stolen by your maid, we have you covered for up to S$20,000 with this add-on.
