This is about integrated shield plan? What has CPF got to do with IP?
i think so, and need to pay cash for Rider (CPF).

my concern is such plan is more than enough? Or need to buy insurance policy from insurance company?

IP is for hospitalization and surgical charges. If you are talking about illness then that should be Critical Illness

the agent listed me a list of illness covered from the insurance policy.
I thought of cancel the policy and solely pay for the Rider...

f you're referring to CPF Rider (Integrated Shield Plan rider in Singapore), the answer is: it depends on your age, medical coverage, savings, and risk tolerance.

1. Do you need a CPF Rider?​

A rider is an add-on to your Integrated Shield Plan (ISP) that reduces your out-of-pocket medical expenses such as deductibles and co-insurance.
Pros of having a rider
  • Lower cash payment when hospitalized.
  • Better protection against large medical bills.
  • More predictable healthcare costs.
  • Useful if you prefer private hospitals or higher-class wards.
Cons of having a rider
  • Additional premium paid in cash every year.
  • Premiums increase as you get older.
  • New regulations require some co-payment, so riders no longer provide 100% coverage.
Generally, a rider may be worthwhile if:
  • You have dependents relying on your income.
  • You prefer private hospital treatment.
  • You do not want a large unexpected medical bill affecting your savings.
  • You are middle-aged or older and want stronger hospital coverage.
You may not need a rider if:
  • You have substantial emergency savings.
  • You are comfortable using public hospitals and subsidized wards.
  • The extra premium strains your budget.

bro, i mean if say you under Rider , will you buy another policy from insurance?

My question is is it sufficient to have Rider?

Bro, from the way you asked question, I sense you may not understand the problem correctly.

Rider helps prevent large bill by asking you to be responsible for deductible and co-payment first.
