For your parent/senior citizen (above age 55), which insurance did you buy? and what is your buying factor?

Anybody got any idea which insurance is the best for senior citizen?

Thanks

TS, the insurance in term of what policy? Medical, PA, Life & TPD, CI?

There are pros and cons for different type of policy for different insurance company.

Honestly, I'm not quite sure but definitely medical insurance is a must...
For you, which one would you recommend for senior citizen/parent?

At 55 yr old the only affordable insurance is the PA.

For medical or CI the premium is gonna be very high and there is also a medical check-up to disallow any pre-existing. Logically at that age, the person also do not need lump sum payment i.e. CI, life or PA as he/she will not be a 'breadwinner' What is required is medical coverage but high cost + pre-existing make it not viable.

Get your insurance when you are young.

I would recommend Alliance MedCare Plus. It was a plan offer by Alliance Bank and covered by Allianz. Anyway, it was a stand alone medical card and the premium will increase when getting older.

U can get the brochure from this link, contain quite a lot information that we need. Also can get more details from Alliance bank.

Actually i planning to get this for my mom as she rely on company's insurance only.

I heard that Great Eastern is best for Medical Card as in they're the fastest to get approval/non-approval?

How about Great Eastern medical claims? Is it the fast too?
