But, but, but, all agents will still link your policy to investment.

Do you mean the agent will tell me it's an investment?

I only know the investment linked with medical policy. But it's more for medical protection.

Trust me, they will use excuses to link it.
So always get the policy first, reads and understand fully.
First month don't use direct debit.

Ok, will read up. I'm not expecting total coverage with the many t&c.

I believe you have got for yourself an investment-linked policy, with a medical rider.

You can find out more here:

Let me know if this answers some questions that you and your friend may have.

Yes, I got that one. I was previously on standalone medical card but I feel the coverage isn't enough for future.

Does medical policy covers gov hospitals as well?

Buying insurance is expecting total exclusions shocking.gif
They are more happy if you willing going to general hospitals, sure they will cover. As most operations, sleeping in the wad are 50-95% cheaper than what private hospitals offering.

It won't be total exclusions but for sure there will be some. Else everyone will be complaining. Hehe.

conqu3ror and JIUHWEI, thanks for the confirmation on the coverage for gov hospital.

No no! Do not ever suka-suka cancel your old hospital insurance policy!

On top of the 4 months waiting period, there is the 2 years incontestability period.

In the first 2 years of your new policy, anything claimed under the new policy can be contested by the company.

By "contested" i mean the company can challenge the claim by conducting an investigation into your medical records to make sure that it is a genuine case, no prior diagnosis of the condition has been done before.

So best is to disclose all that you can when purchasing the "upgrade" policy.

Only when you confirm betul-betul healthy, didn't leave out any details, didn't go to your kawan's clinic to forge your way through the medical exams/tests, etc. Then only cancel your old policy.

Usually I let the old policy run for one more year before cancelling it.

I bought GE standalone medical few years back and recently switched to their medical investment link plan. GE didn't allow two plans to be in effect together. Had to cancel the standalone card but they would cover the transition period of switching.

I didn't know about the 2 years thingy. Thx for the info.

Cancellation of standalone medical card is a standard procedure because there is no point to own 2 medical cards. Yes, GE will cover the transition period of switching and it will take effect immediately under conditional waiting period of 1 month.

How about the 2 years thingy?
