Err...*re-emphasise*

I don't NEED the life+TPD coverage, reason why I chose ILP over stand-alone medicard is just for the premium waiver on TPD/36CI.

Depending on your preference & budget . . . . an investment -link med card can be as low as RM50,000 coverage p.a
& can goes as high as RM200,000 p.a

Wondering if anyone can comment on my situation. I currently do not have any outside insurance plan except from my company. I'll try to describe my situation in the least confusing manner as possible. My current age is 35.

July 2002:
Started working with current company, I have AIA card, good medical plan in general.

Feb 2014:
Expected my last at the company since I'm planning to pursue my study overseas, will have to hand over my AIA medical card.

March 2014:
Start of period without medical card.

September 2014:
Expected to begin studying at US university for my Masters, I will be forced to buy university-sanctioned medical plan as requirement for any new students.

June 2016:
Anticipated time of graduation from US and return to Malaysia to work, I assume my future company that hires me will also offer medical card similar to AIA that I had previously.

How often have I used the AIA medicall card from 2002-2014?
Not often, once every 6 months maybe, for regular fever or flu, never been warded, paling teruk pun just injection for severe tonsilitis.

Do I have a family?
I am single, unmarried.

My question:
If I want a medical card to cater for normal fevers, and God-forbids, critical illness, I presume at my age, it will be RM350/mo premium? Correct me if I'm wrong. What would be the strategy if i foresee that I'll be having university-sanctioned insurance while continue paying RM350/mo to Malaysia just to "maintain" a medical card here? Or should I just get a medical card when I return to Malaysia in 2016 at age of 37 and presumably pay RM400/mo for medical card by then?
*
its up to you . . . you can sign up a basic plan while maintain it for 2 years until you are back in Malaysia
or wait for 2016 & purchase when you are back in Malaysia.

Insurance charges for 35 / 37 will not increase as much as what you have describe but in order to get a medical card
you have to make sure you stay healthy for the 2 years . . .

hi all,
i need insurance for my f&b biz...please advise
islamic if possible

you are looking more to liability & also fire insurance to cover your premise
most of them are refering to medical & life insurance over here . . . . . thumbup.gif

i just back from bank and talk to the guys about life insurance..
my question is,is all bank 'life insurance' rate same? if no? can suggest me any?
and since im new about this thing,its my pleasure to get feedback..
*
of course is different from company to company . . .
you need to shop around & get the best deal,
sometimes the best is not the cheapest & also the most expensive are not the best
so read the fine line in the policy thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Any Prudential Agent can help me to check on my wife's policy??

As such I was told by my wife that the policy includes medical card but I don't see her holding any.
*
only the servicing agent are allowed to check / have your wife policy details
you can call up the servicing agent or go to the nearest branch to comfirm on your policy that have bought

I don't even defending anything, I just listed out potential outcome and features of it.

Insurance is a big and long term commitment.
It is serious that policy holders to understand what they are getting, what they had committed.

Agent should be the one explain and let client understand what they had committed.
If a policy is guaranteed to have x cash value, and guarantee to cover until age y, then tell the client, one will have x and y.

While if a policy doesn't guarantee x and y, please don't tell the client that they are covered until y with the policy.
Please tell the client if everything work as projected, then the policy is covering until y, if not y doesn't hold as it is not guaranteed.
As simple as that.

Why it cannot be done in this way, aka explain thoroughly the actual real facts of the policy and let client understand in easy way?

I just do not want to see people after committed 15 or 20 years later, almost reach their life destiny time, only realise what they had committed is not what they had known or not as same as agent told.  smile.gif
*
what cherroy said is quite true ... totally agree & support for above statement

Insurance should be that way . . . thumbup.gif
but sad to say majority agents out there dont even know what they are selling to customers
my personal own experience when being approach by another company agent

Hi, I have never heard of there is such plan providing annual limit RM990,000. Is it a new plan? Sounds very attractive! Does Prudential, AIA or other insurance companies offer annual limit RM990,000 and no life time limit and no co-insurance too?

Hope experts here can advise. thank you!
*
interested to know more on this plan as well . . . . . well if for RM990k medical coverage for only RM200/month only medical plan
sounds good rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

every sifu here, what would be the main difference/ standout of prudential life vs. GE life? been about 2 years with GE, but recently the service agent quite disappointed me. Thought of switch to prudential
*
if you are talking basically life insurance only . . . . . no difference you are buying from GE vs PRU
but if it;s a investment link with medicard, considering future claim wise it's better to get a proper agent to do it for you

Hello sifus, I wanna ask. Is it a good thing to become a part-time takaful agent? I am currently finding ways to increase my income and thought this might be a good route. What do you think? What are the details etc? Thanks!

of course its good . . . why limit yourself to takaful only
you can sell traditional & also takaful at the same time rclxm9.gif

Hey guys, i received a letter from GE relating to me about:-

A. GST - which I am aware of this
B. Topping RM20 bucks on my existing monthly premium

Should I be topping up the additional RM20? My current monthly premium is RM150.

Here's my current coverage breakdown:
[attachmentid=4307001]

I don't quite understand the damn letter that GE sent to me. GE lump up both details about GST and topping up RM20 into one single letter. Can't they do it in 2 separate letter?

Stingy basterds want to save cost.

Sorry about the rant, anyway, referring to the attached coverage details, should I be adding topping up the additional RM20 for the rest of my life?
*
Please provide the actually letter to clarify . . . well from above it's most like increase in medical cost
which ur current payment/cash value does not able to sustain the plan

GST although will be effective 1st of April onwards, but it DOES NOT EFFECT insurance premium
because GST 6% will replace Sales & Service charge which is 6% also that is already included in your
monthly/yearly insurance charge

QUOTE(supersound @ Jan 19 2015, 11:59 AM)
When you buying insurance, the agent that served you never tells you that :
insurance agents are getting yearly increment of 10%
they are getting 4-5 months bonus every year
you need to sponsor their European 6 star hotel with 1st class flight ticket once half yearly

Because of the above 3 reasons, your policy will self depreciate every 3 months by 5-10%.

This is totally a joke, well you can try come into this industry & find out. . . . doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Hi guys,

I hv been talking to PRU and their agent told me that co-insurance is mandatory for any of their hospitalization policy. Is this true ?

Just update my link . . . https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2235659
Well prudential now are left with PruHealth & Pruvalue med as the only option medical plan to attached to an investment-link plan.

PruHealth - co-insurance RM300-RM1,000 or deductible option (RM3k / RM10k)
Pruvalue med - co-insurance RM300 (we call it med saver) / without co-insurance - not adviseable as premium is much higher

Prufleximed last entry is 31st March 2015 . . . it had been replace with the new valuemed

I'm an existing PruMed Major holder. I would like to upgrade to PruValue Med.
Do I need to wait for 6 months after PruValue Med is launched before I can upgrade or can I upgrade now?

Thanks for your advice.  smile.gif

guys if your insurance plan is RM300 just for hospital room and board. Then i want to stay in a room where the total daily for everything is RM550. But in the insurance contract says "If there is an upgrade of Hospital Room and Board, a 20% co-insurance with no maximum cap shall apply." What does this mean & how much extra i have to pay?
*
State very clear, as long as the R&B is below RM300/day you are safe. If excess RM300 you need to bare a 20% of co-insurance
meaning that 20% from the total hospital bills.

For example the bill is RM6,000 * 20%
Your insurer will pay RM4,800
balance pay by you RM1,200
