Room and board

The hospital accommodation benefit described in the insurance schedule, with its own entitlement and limits.

By Bene · Last reviewed 23 October 2026

A schedule can express this benefit as an allowed ward type, a daily monetary limit or another defined basis. The cited Singlife brochure shows a ward-based entitlement and a duration limit.

Distinguish the accommodation benefit from surgery, hospital services and intensive care. Avoid assuming the room allowance also pays all other admission charges.

For a planned stay, ask for the selected entitlement and an estimate broken into meaningful bill items. Confirm whether choosing another ward changes only this benefit or the wider claim calculation.
