Our verdict
Now Health International is an insurer aimed at expats, families, students and companies, and its value sits in how the account runs: monthly payments, claims online or by app, and cover that caps at SGD 1.3M annual maximum (SimpleCare CORE). Price is the first thing to check against the alternatives.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Monthly payments are available, so the cost spreads across the month rather than landing as an upfront annual payment.
- Claims start online and mobile app, which suits anyone who wants to handle a claim from a phone.
- It is an insurer rather than a broker or comparison site, so the underwriter is the counterparty on the policy.
Cons
- Health is the only cover type, health, so there is no home, life or travel policy to add in the same account.
- A starting premium of SGD 45 against a site midpoint of €8.37 makes cost the weak point.
- Claims run on online and mobile app only, so anyone who prefers paper or in-person handling has fewer options.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Now Health International cost?+
Premiums start at SGD 45 for the entry plan, and monthly payments are available, so the first payment is lighter than an annual one. Against the rest of the site, that starting figure sits above the €8.37 midpoint, which is part of why cost scores 2.4.
Who is Now Health International aimed at?+
Its audience is expats, and the industries it names are expats, families, students and companies. It is an insurer rather than a broker or comparison site, so the underwriter sits behind the policy. Headquarters are in Hong Kong.
How much will the policy pay out?+
Cover caps at SGD 1.3M annual maximum (SimpleCare CORE), so the ceiling on a year of treatment is set by the plan rather than open-ended. Plans above that entry tier cost more than SGD 45, and paying monthly spreads that higher figure across the year instead of in one sum.
How do I make a claim?+
Claims are filed online and mobile app, so a claim can be started online or in the mobile app without an appointment. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which gives a phone line, an email route and a help centre for anything the app does not cover.
Is the company regulated?+
Yes. Licences place it under the Insurance Authority (Hong Kong) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore, alongside regulators in other markets. The legal entity behind the brand is Now Health International (Asia Pacific) Limited, with headquarters in Hong Kong.
Where is this cover available?+
Published pricing and the SGD 1.3M annual maximum (SimpleCare CORE) cover ceiling are given for Singapore, and the brand is headquartered in Hong Kong. Its licences also cover the United Arab Emirates, Great Britain, Malta and Bermuda, so the reach is wider than that one published example.
Where does it rank on price?+
On starting premium, Now Health International sits at 191 of 252 brands compared. Its overall site score is 2.4, and the cost part of that score is 2.4, so price is what pulls the rating down.
Who would be better served elsewhere?+
Health-only cover leaves out the wider lines. Households wanting auto, home, life, travel or pet with the same provider should look at Good Sam Insurance Agency, auto, home and renters, and buyers chasing the smallest entry price will find CHF 0 at bonus.ch easier on the budget.
