I understand that Insurance is generally associated to long-term commitment.

However, am wondering; is there any TPD insurance plan that caters for specific situations?


Coz here's the thing; my father-in-law will be undergoing Lasik surgery, and even though the Doc mention that there are no known cases of people going blind due to the procedures, I would want to be proactive.

As such, I plan to take TPD insurance plan for him, for this specific matter only. i.e once after the procedure is done, am not continuing with the plan.

Is it possible?

Say, I have an insurance plan with CO X.

The plan used to be good at that time, but my needs have changed, and as such, I have lapsed on the premiums for quite a while.

Now, I was approached by an insurance agent, from CO X too, promoting an insurance plan that I am interested in.

Question is, is it okay to let the current insurance plan lapsed, and start subscribing with the new plan?

What I mean by okay is that, will Co X allows it?

I receive my insurance statement from Prudential.
In the statement, it mentioned that :

"The policy status as at the policy statement date : Inforce"

Does it mean that my policy has not lapsed?

Yes, it is still active as at the time of printing the statement. For the current status, just call up the Customer Service or contact your servicing agent.

Many thanks for the reply.

Alright, please look at my policy below :

The plan was subscribed from Jan'02, and the monthly premium is RM150/month.

Is it good? What I meant is if I were to compare against similar products for the same price,
does it fare better or worse?

Kindly advise, thanks!

Old policy is always better in term of waiting period and will be more claim-proof.

We can't comment about your policy because we don't know about your age, gender, occupation and medical history.
Nevertheless, for above policy, I recommend you to look into upgrading your medical card because room&board 100 will he challenging to get a suitable room in KL, Penang and Johore. And I will suggest you to upgrade with your existing agent to preserve your medical card waiting period. I suppose that upgrading in Prudential will not start over your waiting period.

Many thanks for the reply.

Alright, my background details:
Age 29, male, accountant, and no prior medical history (and has not claimed even once for insurance).
The insurance I took was in 2002, as still in force.

Alright, here’s the thing.
When I took up the insurance (way back in 2002), I was not yet smoking.
So I declared myself as a non-smoker.

But then, time passed, and I am now smoking.
Should I declare it to the insurance?

And if yes, will it impact in any way about my policy coverage?

Just checking,
For the amount disbursed in cases of death/permanent disabilities, does the insurance agency honor the sum stipulated in the contract, or is it up to them to make some calculations are disbursed only a portion of it?

Meaning to say, if YY is entitled to 100k for death, is the beneficiary going to be paid 100k, or will the insurance agency make further calculation, and pay less? Say 100k minus 10k as the insurance is less than X years or something.

Mine is an investment-linked plan.

So basically, upon death:

1) sum assured is confirmed
2) cash value of investment - which may be more or less, depending on the performance of the investment

Is my understanding correct ?

Dear fellow forumers,

I came to the realisation that now, insurance policy have come up with 'packages' tailor made for ladies. And also for adult males. It is meant for coverage/treatment for diseases that occur to specific gender.

Question is, previously, weren't these included as part of the diseases covered?

So, is it now that the insurance policy will have all the diseases removed,
and should people want it to be covered, they have to get it as riders?

Say, the illness can only happen to guys; e.g. prostate cancer, or 'ball' inflammation which requires surgery.
Are these kind of gender specific illnesses included in the insurance policy,
or is it only made available to those who have the riders for 'male illnesses' ?

2) having a class 4 occupation.

Advice pls.

Occupation class mostly just affect the COI (cost of insurance) only. Unless the job expose to high health risk, then underwriter may require exclusion/loading. Even police can get insurance.

Can anyone share with me the list of occupations and which class it falls under?

e.g
Doctor - Class 1
Labor - Class 2
Cabinet Ministers - NO Class

Question;

Will surrendering policy make the agent look bad ?
Or is it part and parcel of the business ?

A quick one,

A person got multiple life insurance, and then die.

Can the family members claim for death coverage from each insurance company?

Or have to pick one with the highest coverage only ?

You need to produce and give the original copy of death cert to insurance company.
And between insurance companies they have connection among each others.
So, the question is, can you get multiple original documents from authorities?
Hint for this : all the insurance agents here were avoiding answering this question directly but group bash me instead stating this is irrelevant question whistling.gif

Please ignore the idiot above.

Yes, you can claim from ALL life insurance. and you can claim from PA too (if proven due to accident, etc...).

as for operational procedure one can always contact agent or CS directly.

if i remember correctly, just bring your policy and the original death cert will do.

shocking.gif LOL so which is the correct one?

told you to ignore him. he's a regular joker.

yes, you have to produce original death cert to all the insurance company.

my question to you is... are you really gonna give insurance company the original death cert? of course not. i don't even give EPF the original death cert. the purpose of original death cert is for verification purposes obviously (i didn't think i have to state this explicitly in my previous post). you always keep the original.  doh.gif

^ no no is not meant for me.
I am enquiring on behalf of others smile.gif
