Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a POEMS account?

Yes, you must have a POEMS account under the Policyholder's name to be eligible for the campaign.

Can I claim from ECICS Non-Motor Excess Protector Insurance if my insurance claim is below the policy excess?

In the event of any loss or damage, your insurer for your primary insurance policy must have paid out a claim amount higher than your policy excess in order to seek reimbursement on the excess from your ECICS Non-Motor Excess Protector Insurance Policy. If the claim amount paid out is lower than your policy excess, you will not be able to seek reimbursement from your ECICS Non-Motor Excess Protector Insurance Policy.

Where will the Tesla Fractional Shares be credited?

Tesla Fractional Shares for this campaign will be credited exclusively to the specified Policyholder's POEMS account.

How do I determine the effective date of the policy?

Here's how you can determine the effective date based on each situation:For New FDW:The policy's effective date should be the date your FDW arrives in Singapore. This ensures that insurance coverage begins when the FDW starts her employment duties upon arrival in the country.For Transferred FDW:The policy's effective date should be the day you wish to apply for the issuance of her work permit at MOM. This ensures that insurance coverage is in place when the FDW's work permit is processed and approved for transfer to your employment.For Renewal FDW:The policy's effective date should be one day after the current work permit's expiry date. This ensures that insurance coverage seamlessly continues without any gaps when renewing the FDW's work permit for continued employment.

Can I name a family member in more than one policy with ECICS on Comprehensive Family NCD Builder Plan?

Yes, so long as the driver has a valid driving license and fulfils our underwriting criteria as named driver, you can purchase this plan and add them as a named driver in the Comprehensive Family NCD Builder Plan.

My FDW’s age is 61 years old, can I still renew her policy?

The eligibility criteria states that the insured FDW must be between 23 and 60 years old at the time of application. This means that individuals outside of this age range may not qualify for coverage under the insurance policy.

What is the difference between Outpatient Medical Expenses (For Accident) and Hospital & Surgical Expenses?

• Outpatient Medical Expenses (For Accident) cover medical bills for outpatient treatments that arise solely from Accident. For example, your FDW accidentally scalds her hand while cooking and requires dressing for the burn.• Hospital & Surgical Expenses cover inpatient medical bills for treatments related to both accidents and illnesses.

Why is the policy not exactly 12 or 24 months?

The coverage period for our Enhanced MaidAssure is 14 months or 26 months with the additional 2 months included as mandated by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in case the FDW overstays in Singapore after her work permit expires.

Is there any coverage for Outpatient Medical Expenses (For Illness)?

Yes, we offer it as an optional add-on that covers outpatient medical expenses for illness that does not require hospitalisation. This benefit can cover up to $60 per visit, helping to ensure your FDW’s health needs are taken care of without added financial strain.

If I have 2 policies (2 vehicles) insured with ECICS and bought Family NCD plans with a member appearing in both policies. What will happen if one of the policy experiences an accident claim by the Family NCD member (named driver)?

The policy that experiences the accident claim will have the entire group of Family NCD members' (named drivers) Family-NCD reduced according to the GIA NCD framework (https://gia.org.sg/). We believe that promoting safe driving is a family affair. However, the other policy with us will not be affected, all earned Family-NCDs in that policy will remain intact.
