Admission is a different checklist from “call 995”
Employer checklist when helper is admitted to hospital (Singapore) starts after she is already an inpatient (or confirmed for admission). Getting to A&E / GP sits in #38. Ordinary illness care sits in #49. MC dates after discharge sit in #110.
General guidance only. Soft MOM: mom.gov.sg. SmartMaid.com.sg is a marketplace. Licensed EAs support employment aftercare. Platform ≠ agency. No invented hospital fees or insurance payouts on this page.

Step 1 — Stabilize facts
- Hospital / ward / bed if known
- Admitting reason category (injury / illness) without demanding private details she should not broadcast
- Next doctor update time if given
- Who is with her now
Emergencies still in progress: 995 / 999.
Step 2 — Notify the licensed EA the same day
Send hospital name, admission date, and what you need from them (insurance paperwork path, next steps). Do not wait for discharge (#26). Insurance structure reminders: #10 — still no $ figures here.
Step 3 — Documents bag for admin
Coordinate copies (not withheld originals as leverage — #115):
- Work Pass copy
- Insurance card / policy references your EA/insurer named
- Employer contacts
Follow hospital and insurer instructions; verify live processes with EA.
Step 4 — Household cover while she is admitted
- Kids / elderly / pets cover plan
- Who can visit if appropriate
- Pause non-urgent chores; do not invent “make-up” unpaid work as punishment
Step 5 — Discharge and return-to-work handoff
- Collect discharge summary / MC if issued → run #110
- Confirm follow-up clinic dates
- Re-brief only light duties if clinic allows — otherwise rest means rest
- If welfare / employment path is unclear, EA first, then soft MOM channels as needed (#51)
Soft MOM
Prioritise her medical care and lawful employment practice. Confirm guidance on mom.gov.sg. No invented $. Platform ≠ agency.
Checklist
- Admission facts noted
- EA notified same day
- Docs / insurance admin started (no $ invented)
- Household cover set
- Discharge / MC path ready (#110)
- No document withholding as control; platform ≠ agency

To EA: Helper admitted to [hospital] on [date]. Please advise insurance/admin steps and what you need from us. We will share updates after doctor rounds.

Bottom line
After admission: notify EA, handle admin without inventing fees, cover the home, then discharge into the MC map. Browse on SmartMaid; aftercare through a licensed EA under soft MOM rules.
