Hi all, I'm 22 years old and taking GE SmartProtect Essential Insurance 2 monthly RM200..

Covered within the package

Life 100k
Accident 30k
WPP2.4k

Included Medical card
The insurance package almost a year, any advice with the package I taking or should I increase the amount of I'm paying or wait until when I reach 30years+?

Is there any other I need to cover that I've missed out?

I would suggest you to get 36 critical illness and early payout critical illness claim. It is crucial because you need these money to clear your commitment rather than pass the commitment to your love one when unfortunate happens.

Furthermore, early payout critical claim can helps you to recover in a better state by providing you some money when your critical illness is on early stage. You can recover in peace of mind.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to know if many here have experience with making claims from 2 different medical cards? An example would be a Tokio Marine Medic Plus together with another basic medical card. Any problems doing so? Or anything to bear in mind like having to pay cash first and then claiming it later?

My father's friends came over the other day (they are insurance agents), and they claimed that it isn't really advisable to do this as there's only one original receipt and it's troublesome to make the claims. However, after studying some insurance plans for medical cards (ILP and standalone), I'm favouring standalone plans using a mix and match approach that looks optimum.

So, would like to hear from people who have already tried doing this.

There is no point to pay 2 cards as you are paying more but get less, it is always advisable to maintain one card only. If you concern about the annual and lifetime limit, you may get higher room&board. However, to answer your question about double claim medical card, it is do-able in great eastern, you may claim your medical bill in other company and then take claim the co-insurance under great eastern's medical card.

Standalone medical card doesn't comes with waiver of premium, this is crucial as if anything happen to you, you still have to pay your medical card for life. Income maybe adjusted or you may lose the potential of income increment after some big illness, it is always recommended to attach waiver of premium to your medical card.

can this be done thru online?
and what if after few years, i would like to have it back?

other than that, can we claim ci from few policies/company?

You are unable to remove it yourself unless you walk in to great eastern branches. Or you may ask your agent to remove them for you, else you may pm me for another alternative.

It is not advisable to remove those rider because those rider are crucial and important for your personal protection.

You can have those riders back after a few years provided you are still healthy, else you may impose with loading or exclusion.

Hi there, it's already cover 36 critical illness and have early payout critical illness claim if not wrong..
Should I increase my instalment or leave it be at the moment?

Since you already have investment link, I would suggest you to get a traditional participate whole life plan which is beneficial to you in the long run/retirement because the surrender value will increase twice or even trice from the premium you paid in long run.

If you need a quotation from great eastern, do pm me your age, sex, smoking status and budget.

Why do you say that? Do you have any examples?

Some cards seem to dove-tail well together, especially those supplementary coverage cards that come cheap and can make up of the shortfalls from the main cards.
Well, this is another one of those trade-offs that a person has to decide on.

Whether to pay more earlier and depend on the insurance company to invest well or to pay less and to invest the difference on your own.

Well, age 30, male, non smoker, One standalone medical card r&b200 cost rm621 yearly and if you buy two, it would be rm1241(621x2), whereas if you buy one r&b400, it only cost rm1092. It haven't added up all the hassle you have to claim two times.

Waiver of premium is a must if you ask for my opinion, it serve as insurance for your medical card. Let's say a person bought rm50k critical illness and upon diagnose with critical illness, he will need to use all the rm50k to pay for the future of his medical card premium because he lost all his future income earning power, so in the end he has to use all the insurance claim money to pay his future insurance medical card premium, which is a very pathetic scenario because he knew he wouldn't have opportunity to apply for a new medical card.

What is actually endowment? Investment link policy? I am blur..

endowment in Malaysia insurance are more into "saving" insurance plan, you pay for a xxx then when the endowment mature in yyy years, you will get certain money.

Investment link policy is a comprehensive coverage insurance plan where the money you paid will goes to buy fund and deduct insurance charges. Usually it will attach with many riders such as 36 critical illness, waiver of premium, medical card, hospitalization benefit etc etc.
