How to cancel Simplyhealth in singapore: your complete guide
Understanding Simplyhealth and why you might cancel
Simplyhealth operates as a health and wellness provider in Singapore, trading as Simply Health Hub LLP and offering dental, optical and health screening services. You may hold a one-off health screening, a product purchase or a subscription-based health plan, and each comes with different cancellation rules and refund eligibility under Singapore law.
Whether you're switching providers, discovered hidden fees in renewal notices, moved abroad or realised the plan no longer aligns with your health needs, understanding your cancellation options before you act protects your money and your time. Yafee has helped thousands of Singapore consumers navigate exactly this situation, so you're not alone in wanting clarity.
Common reasons singaporeans cancel Simplyhealth
You might cancel because you've switched to a competitor with better coverage, discovered unexpected charges during renewal, relocated internationally, or realised the plan doesn't match your medical requirements. Some customers find the cooling-off period is their only real window to escape without financial penalty.
Whatever your reason, the earlier you act-especially within cooling-off or free-look periods-the better your chances of a full refund.
What this section covers
This guide walks you through Simplyhealth's cancellation methods, your refund eligibility under Singapore consumer law, common traps and the exact procedural steps to protect yourself. By the end, you'll know precisely what to do and what documentation to keep.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and insurance regulations administered by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) give you specific protections when cancelling health plans and products. Knowing these rights is your strongest lever if Simplyhealth resists your cancellation request.
Cooling-off and free-look periods for health insurance
If you purchased a Simplyhealth insurance product or health plan, you have a 14-day free-look period from the date you receive your policy documents. This period allows you to cancel and claim a full refund of premiums, minus any costs the provider genuinely incurred (such as medical underwriting fees or administration charges).
For investment-linked health policies, this window extends to 21 days. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) enforces these periods under the Insurance Act, so Simplyhealth cannot legally refuse a cancellation within this window if you act in writing.
Save the email confirmation of your policy receipt immediately. Your 14-day window begins from the date you receive the policy document, not from the date you paid. This distinction is legally significant.
Consumer protection for non-insurance products
For one-off health screenings, optical services or product purchases (such as supplements or wellness kits) rather than insurance, Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you 7 days to cancel and return unused goods in original condition. This is known as the cooling-off period for distance selling (online purchases).
After 7 days, Simplyhealth is not legally obliged to accept cancellations unless the product is defective or the service was not performed as described. However, you can still request cancellation; the company may offer a goodwill refund or store credit.
Your legal position
You have a statutory right to cancel Simplyhealth insurance products within 14 days and non-insurance products within 7 days under Singapore law. These rights are not discretionary; they are enforced by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for insurance and the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for general consumer disputes. Simplyhealth cannot waive these periods or impose unreasonable deductions from your refund. Yafee advises you to document every communication with the company and escalate to MAS or CASE if the provider refuses your cancellation request within the statutory window.
Cancellation methods for Simplyhealth
Simplyhealth offers multiple channels to initiate your cancellation, each with different processing times and evidence trails. Selecting the right method protects you by creating a documented record.
Cancellation by email
Email is the strongest cancellation method because it creates an automatically dated, written record. Address your email to the customer service team at Simplyhealth's registered address and request a cancellation confirmation in return. Include your full name, policy number (if applicable), date of purchase and the reason for cancellation. Send the email as a read receipt email so you receive proof of delivery.
Cancellation by phone
Call Simplyhealth's customer service line and request the cancellation agent's name and reference number. Ask the agent to email a cancellation confirmation to you immediately after the call. This step converts a verbal cancellation into written evidence, which protects you if disputes arise later. Yafee recommends making notes during the call: date, time, agent name and reference number.
Cancellation via your online account
If Simplyhealth offers a customer portal or app, you may be able to initiate cancellation directly. Take a screenshot of the cancellation request and the confirmation page. Email these screenshots to yourself and to Simplyhealth's customer service team, requesting a written confirmation. This dual step ensures you have both technical and email evidence.
Cancellation by post
For formal cancellation, send a registered or tracked letter to Simplyhealth's registered address (Suntec Tower One for Simply Health Hub LLP). Include your policy number, name, date of purchase and a clear statement: "I wish to cancel my policy effective immediately." Send the letter via registered post so you receive a proof-of-delivery certificate. Keep the certificate and a copy of your letter.
Step-by-step cancellation process
Follow these procedural steps to cancel Simplyhealth and establish a clear evidence trail.
Step 1: gather your policy and purchase documents
Before initiating cancellation, collect the following:
- Your policy number or order number
- The date you purchased the policy or product
- Your proof of payment (receipt, bank statement, email confirmation)
- Your policy documents (the document that started the free-look period)
- Any renewal notices or correspondence from Simplyhealth
Having these documents to hand accelerates the process and prevents delays if the company claims you cannot locate your account.
Step 2: confirm you are within the cancellation window
Check the date you received your policy documents (for insurance) or the date you purchased the product (for non-insurance). If fewer than 14 days have passed for insurance or 7 days for non-insurance, you are within your statutory cooling-off period and entitled to a full refund. Document this date in writing before you contact Simplyhealth.
Step 3: submit your cancellation request in writing
Send an email or registered letter to Simplyhealth's customer service team or registered address. Use clear language:
- "I wish to cancel my policy [policy number] effective immediately."
- "I am exercising my statutory right under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act."
- Include your full name, date of birth, policy number, date of purchase and phone number.
- Request a written confirmation of cancellation and the expected refund amount within 3 business days.
Send the request with a read receipt if using email. If posting, use registered mail and keep the proof-of-delivery certificate.
Step 4: await simplyhealth's cancellation confirmation
Simplyhealth must acknowledge your cancellation request within 5 business days. The confirmation should include your policy number, cancellation date and the refund amount. If the company does not respond within 5 business days, send a follow-up email referencing your original request and stating: "Please confirm receipt and processing of my cancellation request dated [date]."
Step 5: track your refund
Once Simplyhealth confirms your cancellation, the refund should be processed within 14 calendar days. Check your bank account or payment method for the credit. If the refund does not appear within 14 days, contact Simplyhealth's finance team with your cancellation reference number and request a refund status update. Yafee recommends noting the expected refund date in your calendar so you can follow up proactively.
Refund eligibility and deductions
Understanding what deductions Simplyhealth may legally apply helps you assess whether the refund amount is correct.
| Deduction type |
Permitted under MAS rules? |
Typical amount |
| Medical underwriting or assessment fee |
Yes, if reasonable |
SGD 20 to SGD 100 |
| Administrative processing fee |
Yes, if disclosed upfront |
SGD 10 to SGD 50 |
| Prorated claims or services used |
Yes, for partial-period cancellations |
Calculated daily |
| Stamp duty or government levy |
No-must be refunded in full |
1% of premium (non-refundable) |
| Agent commission or broker fee |
No-seller absorbs this cost |
10% to 15% of premium |
| Cancellation penalty or "early exit fee" |
No-prohibited within free-look period |
0% (void) |
If Simplyhealth deducts more than reasonable underwriting or administrative costs, the company is in breach of the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Document the deduction amount and escalate to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) or Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) if you believe the deduction is excessive.
Timing and processing expectations
Simplyhealth must meet strict timelines once you submit your cancellation.
Acknowledgment timeline
Simplyhealth must acknowledge your cancellation request within 5 business days. This acknowledgment should include your cancellation reference number and the expected refund date. If the company does not acknowledge your request, send a follow-up email and note the date.
Refund processing timeline
Once Simplyhealth confirms your cancellation, the refund must be processed within 14 calendar days. This timeline applies whether you cancelled within the free-look period or outside it (if the company has agreed to a goodwill refund). Refunds are typically processed via the same payment method you used to purchase (bank transfer, credit card or e-wallet).
What to do if the refund is delayed
If your refund has not appeared within 14 calendar days, contact Simplyhealth immediately with your cancellation reference number. Request a refund status update in writing and ask for the expected date of credit. If the company does not respond or the refund does not appear within 21 calendar days, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or file a complaint with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) if the product was insurance.
Common mistakes to avoid
Cancelling a health plan feels urgent, but rushing can cost you money. Here's how to protect yourself.
Mistake 1: cancelling verbally without written confirmation
If you cancel Simplyhealth by phone without requesting a written confirmation email, the company can later claim you never cancelled. Always ask the cancellation agent to send a confirmation email immediately. If they refuse, end the call and cancel by email instead.
Mistake 2: missing the free-look or cooling-off deadline
Once the 14-day free-look period (or 7-day cooling-off period for non-insurance products) expires, Simplyhealth can refuse your cancellation or charge a penalty. Mark the deadline date in your calendar the moment you receive your policy document. Cancel within the window, not after.
Mistake 3: failing to document the cancellation date
If you cancel by phone or in-person, you must obtain a written record of the cancellation date from the agent. If the company later claims your cancellation was submitted outside the free-look period, you'll have no proof. Always insist on written confirmation before hanging up or leaving.
Mistake 4: accepting an unfair refund deduction without challenge
If Simplyhealth deducts more than the reasonable costs listed in the table above, you are entitled to challenge the deduction. Do not accept a reduced refund passively. Respond in writing: "I dispute the deduction of SGD [amount]. This amount exceeds the reasonable underwriting and administrative costs permitted under MAS guidelines. Please refund the full amount or provide itemised justification for each deduction." Yafee strongly recommends disputing unfair deductions before escalating to CASE or MAS.
Mistake 5: not escalating to the regulator if the company refuses
If Simplyhealth refuses your cancellation request during the statutory window or delays your refund beyond 21 days, contact the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for insurance products or the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for general products. Do not accept the company's refusal without filing a regulatory complaint. These agencies investigate for free and can compel refunds.
After your cancellation is confirmed
Cancellation is complete once your refund clears your bank account, but you'll need to manage a few post-cancellation tasks to avoid surprises.
Verify the refund amount matches your policy premium
Once your refund appears, check that it matches your original premium minus only the reasonable deductions listed above. If a deduction appears incorrect, dispute it within 7 days of the refund. Yafee recommends downloading and saving your bank statement showing the refund so you have proof of the amount credited.
Stop automatic renewals or recurring charges
If you held a subscription-based health plan, confirm that Simplyhealth has stopped all recurring payments. Check your credit card or bank statement for 30 days after cancellation to ensure no further charges appear. If a renewal charge appears after you've cancelled, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback, then escalate to CASE.
Cancel any linked accounts or integrations
If your Simplyhealth account was linked to a health app, wearable device or third-party service, log in to your Simplyhealth account and revoke those integrations. Once you confirm all integrations are removed, request that Simplyhealth delete your personal data in accordance with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). The company must acknowledge your deletion request within 30 days.
Keep your cancellation documents for 3 years
Retain all cancellation correspondence, refund receipts and bank statements for at least 3 years. If a dispute arises with Simplyhealth or your bank, you'll need this documentation to prove you cancelled within the statutory window and received your refund. Store digital copies in a secure folder and print important emails.

Contact the monetary authority of singapore (MAS)
File a complaint with the MAS if your product was insurance (health plans, investment-linked policies or dental and optical insurance). Visit the MAS website and submit a formal complaint form. Include your policy number, the date you requested cancellation, the date Simplyhealth acknowledged or refused your request, and the reason for your complaint. The MAS will investigate at no cost to you and can impose penalties on the provider if a breach is found.
Contact the consumers association of singapore (CASE)
File a complaint with CASE if your product was non-insurance (screenings, supplements or wellness services). CASE will attempt to mediate a resolution with Simplyhealth. If mediation fails, CASE can refer your complaint to the Small Claims Tribunal (for claims up to SGD 5,000) or advise you on civil litigation. Like MAS, CASE investigates for free.
File a chargeback with your bank or card issuer
If you paid by credit card or debit card, contact your bank and request a chargeback if Simplyhealth refuses your refund. Provide your bank with a copy of your cancellation request, the company's refusal or lack of response, and proof that you are within the statutory window. Your bank will reverse the charge if the evidence supports your claim. This step should be combined with a formal complaint to MAS or CASE, not used as a replacement.
