Prudential partners with Thomson Medical to expand IP specialist network

IP customers will have access to approximately 100 additional specialist doctors.

Prudential Singapore and Thomson Medical Centre (TMC) partnered to expand healthcare options for Prudential’s Integrated Shield Plan (IP) customers. 

Starting 1 April, Prudential’s IP customers will have access to approximately 100 additional specialist doctors from TMC.

This collaboration strengthens Prudential’s hospital-led partnership programme, PRUPanel Connect (PPC), increasing the insurer’s specialist panel to over 1,700 doctors across more than 30 specialties, including obstetrics, gynaecology, paediatrics, orthopaedics, general surgery, urology, oncology, and ophthalmology.

Under the PPC programme, customers with IP riders PRUExtra Premier CoPay, PRUExtra Preferred CoPay, and PRUExtra Premier can benefit from value-added services such as an enhanced electronic Letter of Guarantee (eLOG) of up to S$30,000.

They will also receive expedited specialist appointment bookings within three working days on a best-effort basis.

This agreement follows the inclusion of Thomson Specialists Pte Ltd (Woodleigh), a private panel day surgery centre, under the PPC programme in 2024, further strengthening the collaboration between Prudential and Thomson Medical Group.
