ERA Realty Network has announced that all of its agents will be entitled to additional medical coverage under a new group healthcare plan which will cover medical, dental and wellness needs. The new scheme augments the company’s existing group hospitalisation insurance scheme and free annual health-screening program.

The initiative is in line with the government’s push for providing better benefits and protection for self-employed personnel and freelancers in Singapore. The subscription fees will be fully paid by the company, ERA says. With additional health care plans for outpatient treatments, our self-employed employees can take charge of their own health and have greater peace of mind, says CEO Jack Chua.

ERA has more than 6,000 self-employed agents. Under the new healthcare plan all of its agents and staff will enjoy additional outpatient health benefits at over 400 healthcare organisations, including 100% coverage for general practitioner and traditional Chinese medicine consultations, discounted rates for dental services, specialist consultations, and beauty and body treatments.
