Hi all, just to share..

26 years old, my current Insurance Policy as follows:-

Premium: Previously RM150 per month (3-4years ago when I just started working), just topped up this year to RM550 per month (investment linked) after income more stable and just bought a new property.

Life/TPD: RM400k
Accident (Death/TPD): RM200k + Medical Expenses RM2k + Weekly Income RM300
Critical Illness: RM90k
Early Critical Illness Protector: RM70k
Medical Insurance: R&B RM150/day, Annual limit RM62.5k, Life Time Limit RM625k
Hospital Cash Income: R&B RM150/day, ICU RM100/day, Surgical Procedure RM2.5k per surgery

Projected Cash Value by the time I reach 54 years old: RM240k+

Note: I am also covered by my company;s medical benefits but the coverage is minimal.

Any comments would be highly appreciated.

Not sure if you need that much of Life coverage.

But your medical coverage is not enough. R&B of 150 most likely can stay in a 4 bed sharing in private hospital, then annual limit is too low. Recommended to increase to 200k.

CI is not enough also. Try to use the most basic calculation for CI coverage which is 3 times of your annual income.

With premium of 550 monthly and your age, should be sufficient to increase the medical and CI coverage.

Purpose of insurance is to get yourself cover from any risks. If your coverage is insufficient (for medical cost), then you need to pay from your own pocket, perhaps you need to withdraw from the cash value. Don't expect too much on the cash value, some more it's projected.

Dear Almeizer,

My life coverage is about 2/3 of my housing loan amount. I think it will be sufficient for many years to come until I have dependents and more housing loan smile.gif

My company's medical benefit, amongst others, cover 150/day for R&B and 20k annual limit. For now, I believe my medical insurance is sufficient to cover the shortfall to stay at a better hospital, if necessary.

And yes, I think the CI coverage is a little low. Next time when I decide to review my policy (probably in the next 3-5 years), I'll keep in mind on my CI coverage and annual limit. Or do you think I should get it adjusted soon (without increasing my premium-is that possible?)

Yes, I am aware it is projected only smile.gif

Many thanks for your comments.

Best Regards,
AJ

Thanks ExpZero

I will find time to meet my agent and reassess my coverage again, without increasing my premium smile.gif

Furthermore, please check with your insurance company either you can claim the leftover bill from your company's medical card. As far as I know, some company don't allow that.

Hi Roy,

Can I check with you on this? Does Prudential allow? Thanks.
