I would say....
the capability to do sustained premium payment without any financial after thought on the highest coverage that insurance plan can accept would be a first thing to come into my mind

Hi,

I bought pru-senior med for my parent years ago, with a deductible of 6k and a life time limit of 225K.

However I realized that 225K might not be sufficient, hence i am interested to buy another insurance to improve the limit of this insurance.

I've checked online and found that pru-value med has a plan with 20k deductible. I wonder can I buy pru-value med so that I can utilize pru-senior med or the first 6-20K and use pru-value med for the rest?

I am open to other options as well, thanks!

thanks for highlighting this plan.....

looking at the attached image, as per the illustration scenario....
looks like a good idea.

just asking, since you have 225k lifetime limit, why you want to buy 20k deductible?...why not start from perhaps RM100k (maybe that is much cheaper too)
any idea the age limit one can buy? does your parent age be a concern?

I bought it when he was 49, i think the entry age is 45 - 70, premium is only RM1587 annually, expiry age 80..

the drawback is i have to fork out the first 6k whenever something happen, unless it is outpatient then i only have to pay 10% of the total cost.

another is the low lifetime limit (225k).

but good thing is it is cheaper and it does the job to offset the risk that i have to fork out large sum of money.

The way i see it is how many time i can claim the insurance, if 100k, then 225/100 then i assume he can only get major sick 2 times in his life.  biggrin.gif

for 50k, then 225/50, 4 times, imo it is very few consider we still have 20+ years until he reach 80, and 50k is quite large amount for me if the 225k runs out.

hence i think 20k makes the most sense to me, just that i am not sure whether it can be utilized this way or i have to finish the lifetime limit of the first one first before i can use the second one.

Yes it is possible.

However Rm6k will still need to be paid and the possibility that your mum will be left with only the Rm20k deductible plan once her PruSenior Med Plan expires at age 80.

Can ts buy that one only when the earlier policy is not from prudential or ts need to have existing one from pru then only can buy that?

Background story:
Been having some “minor” heart issue since 8 years ago and need to go for scan/follow up every 2 years
So far condition is stable
This year asked my agent to write a note to try to remove this condition from exclusion list but Prudential rejected

might not be related to your condition....

few years ago, my agent advised me to seek "exclusion" for my policies with him for > 10 yrs...
i had to go thru 2x medical examinations,.....1st time need to do most tests,...then another 2 weeks later was asked to go for another test....(all cost have to self bear).
end results i got the exclusion removed...

thus i think cannot just by write a note to them...
