Getting an agent to service is good at times when you have problem filing a claim or need a person who has experience in claim to appeal for you.

If you think FSM is not earning a single cent out of you, you're kind of mistaken in a way. Otherwise why would they bother to promote it ? Charity ? Plus if I am FSM, I won't need to service you, just take your money and go service urself.

However if you're trying to save all the commission and not want to pay for any service, then self service is the way.

Creating Awareness & Warnings not to be Ignored when purchasing a Medical Insurance Plan!

Do you know that nearly 90% of Malaysians are clueless on the types of policies they have bought over the years. They have been paying for the policies with assumption that it will pay them in full no matter what their claims are without understanding the underlying limitations! And most of them not even know what are they paying for. Common reason of Malaysian buying policies is mainly because the agent is their friends, family etc. and some even bought the policy based on the branding and marketing "claims" that it's the No.1 insurance company in Malaysia. Please be noted that branding of the insurance company won't help you at all! What matters the most is in your policy documents! Most people won't even bother to read the term and condition clearly but just blindly listen to the agent! Different medical plans in Malaysia have different limitation! There's no such thing as all medical insurance are the same!!

If you already have policies, please get them reviewed and I promise you will get the shock of your life!!! Make a choice to understand the limitations of your policies before its too late! Don't just sit and get quotation thru email for comparison in premium cost and investment return but sit down with financial advisor who can help you and assist you in choosing the best medical plan based on your needs, budget and how to avoid costly mistakes.

The most crucial aspect of claiming is what documented in your policy document, you need to understand the fine prints, black and white! You need to know how to avoid and save yourself from burning ship before its too late! Because health changes overnight!!!

An experienced agent would have done many hospitalisation claims for his/her clients over the years. Through the experience, one can tell what it gonna work for you & what can be the biggest financial cost of your life!!

If you have a choice to choose:

1. Which one is the smarter choice?

A) Company A pays 90% of your Medical Bills- 10% Co Insurance borne by policy holder

B) Company B pays 100% of your Medical Bills fully

2) Are you aware of the difference between Inpatient Hospitalization & Outpatient Treatment in your policy? Why is it separated in your Medical Schedule of Benefits?

3) What are the limitations in your policy Vs the Actual Cost of Hospital Bills in Malaysia

Actuaries are highly trained individuals with such intelligence to determine the risk factor before getting a plan approved by Bank Negara.
Do not just take the word of an agent verbally, but always look at the fine prints black&white, and the Cost of Insurance chart in the policy documents- understand the pros and cons clearly before you make any Costly Mistakes especially during Hospital Claim!
**Please take note- this is mainly to create awareness for malaysians to Make A Smart decision before its too late!!

Do contact me if u need in depth understanding in helping you make that WISE decision before purchasing a medical policy.
No obligation at all! You don't wanna miss this opportunity!

You'll be amazed,Yes!
Thanking you.

Very well said..... a lot of people really don't know what they purchased and then bragging they got their medical card for cheaper with millions of coverage renewable each year when I told them my medical card is 2 million lifetime coverage....

they think they bought a better product with lower price, but little do they know there are a lot of exemptions and exclusions in the things that they can claim.

So my advice is, always talk to a few agents before purchasing your insurance for comparison as well as judge their ability and honesty in explaining to you. A similar product will not differ a lot in premium between different insurance companies.

And one more.. know what you need. If you want medical, just buy medical. If you want 36 illness.. just buy 36 illness, don't mix with investment link then your coverage become smaller or otherwise you have to pay higher premium. If you want to save money or invest, there are better choices out there. So don't mix it up together unless you don't have the discipline to save money.

Hi, there has any basic medical insurance can be suggestion. I have bought the Hong Leong Assurance term cover 10 with sum assured RM200,000. My age is 27 years old.

Whether I am still need to buy a medical insurance? This is because government hospital's facilities are quite okay and the cons is just need of waiting time.

If you are able to put away rm200 - rm300 monthly for insurance then you should consider to do so.

Waiting time really doesn't matter unless time is what you don't have.

My client who is a manager at a MNC in Malaysia just recently did a surgery that cost RM30k. Her company benefit only covered RM7k.

all agents will definitely tell u that you need a medical insurance. its better to realize yourself whether your can take the financial risk or not. i know of some that can risk 20~30k for medical expenses (spare cash allocated for medical emergency). everything beyond that is the risk they cannot take anymore. yea, so ask yourself should anything happen, how much risk you can take. true enough, we can go government hospital, still you need spare cash in case you cannot work anymore due to the need of resting during the period of treatment wink.gif

It depends on a lot of factors ie: how the doctor writes the report, how the hospital makes the claim and of course how the agent assist the client with the check in.

Just this month I had a client went for a check, he managed to claim from Allianz 🤓

He's doing fine.

Last year, I had another case whereby a client got admitted and GL issued although he is within the 120days waiting period. Long story short upon discharge the hospital informed cannot claim.

For most agents, that would be the end of it. But because of my financial audit background I understand processes hence I managed to interview all the individuals involved with the claim process and got my client his claims.

Hence at the end of the day, choosing a product is important, choosing which insurance company is important, but the most important is still the agent from my experience.

If you're in the process of buying an insurance, try to meet a few and interview them. Ask them how are they going to plan your insurance coverage based on your needs.

I'll do you 1 better, I'll let you call up any of my clients and ask for a recommendation, they'll be more than happy to do so.

Best,
Jiansheng

Depends on how the doctor write in the report to be presented to the claim department for claim. The situation is very subjective for me to give you an answer

So basically as long as the doctor writes any sickness then can claim already? I think the claim department wont examine the patient right and will just read the report?

It's been made clear that body check up purely for routine purpose is not claimable, a lot of people will always want to do a full check up whenever they are sick but how many of them are really so sick until a full check up is required?

Some people little bit already say dengue or cancer or etc when it could be a small matter but being exaggerated.

Therefore an insurance company will normally not pay if the result is nothing much of an issue. Otherwise everyone would just file a claim for a full check up under the cover of "suspected xxx disease but turn out fine"

just not sure if this is related or not....
thus, bear with me .....

about 10 yrs ago, a friend of mine, went to a private hospital complaining of Chest Discomfort......
the Doctor suggested to perform a heart Scan, physical fitness test to check the heart...results ok....
my friend said the heart still got some discomfort.
The Doctor suggested to do angiography scope.....The result is ok yet.
overall stayed in the Hospital for about 3/4 days....
he managed to claim everything...abt RM 8k

ever since that claim, now all his new insurance policies has this heart related diseases exemption.....even thought everything is OK and even after 10 yrs.....
