I feel sorry for your misfortune. However, I would suggest that you have your policy explained by your servicing agent again as not to jump to any conclusion.

Medical insurance has its own terms and conditions when it comes to medical protection. Coverage of a medical insurance policy depends on the premium (Higher premium for rare illnesses coverage) and also certain grace period for various illnesses/treatment (some with immediate effects, some would requires more than 3 and less than 12 months and some requires a minimum of 12 months).

Kindly turn to your agent for more information. You can also request to meet your agent's upline if your servicing agent is new to the industry.

Sincerely hope these little information helps to shade some lights to your unfortunate case. May your parent gets her treatment soon.

The premium that you have paid so far is less than 1 year, hence the damage done is not severe should you opt to surrender your policy. However, bare in mind that GE has never denied a coverage on your mum's case but placed the medical coverage on hold for 2 months or more, pending on investigation.

Should you were to terminate GE policy for now and engage an alternate insurance company for coverage, your mum may not obtained the coverage on "Colitis" illness in near future. GE policy is bought before your mum is diagnosed with Colitis, hence GE may likely to provide coverage after the investigation. If I am not mistaken, you may still make medical claim (partially or entirely) at a later stage.

Please consult an alternate GE servicing agent on this issue. FYI, you are able to transfer your insurance policy to the servicing agent that is able to help you in near future. Find out more information prior to making any decision.

Remember, the people whom you have contacted in GE earlier (besides your agent) has no intention of screwing you up. They are just employee who follows a standard operation procedure in addressing your call. I can understand that you are frustrated and have made up your mind to discontinue with the policy but your next action may caused your mum greater disadvantage in medical coverage should you proceed with your plan.

May your mum gets better in time.

I understand Felix. Even the GE Officer mentioned the same thing, tat only the GL is declined, and not the claim. He even asked me to pay first and submit the bills for claim.

But is that why we are taking I insurance policy in the first place? I know I take medical insurance for my mother so that incase of emergency like this, she could get admitted in the hospital with no payment or minimal payment. Tat is the reason we are paying the premium. And tat is the attractive feature that all insurance agent mention to client, that when emergency happens, you might no have the money, and which is way medical card is important. My agent gave me the same crap as this and I bought it.

We are paying the premium not because we want the reimbursement, but we want coverage from the beginning of the admission. If reimbursement is wat insurance offer, I believe nobody will take insurance policy.

And the worst part is, they couldn't even give me a proper reason. My mother do not have a medical record related to Colotis, which I know for a fact, and the doctor also mentioned in the diagnosis form, that she I her professional opinion thinks that this is not a pre-existing illness. But the insurance keep giving the pre-existing illness shit and other stupid excuses.

I mean if they suspect this is a pre-existing illness or wat, investigate laa.. I don't stop them. But do it fast in a day it two like tat, not 2 or 3 months for god sake. Stupid insurance. Doesn't really care about their client.

Yes, totally agreed. Illness does not hold out on patient for 2-3 months, hence GE should expedite the investigation process. Do speak to your friend cum insurance agent again on this matter, and try to speak on a mild tone smile.gif. She maybe new to this industry and does not possesses adequate knowledge to handle an emergency case like yours.

I am sure the last thing she wants is to deny any medical funding to your parent. Since this concerning your mum and time is not a luxury to you at this moment, you may want to ask her if she would prefer to have her upline with better knowledge and experience to attend to you.

Many are taking this opportunity to vent their angers against insurance company instead of providing constructive solution towards TS mum's problem. Well, if TS already has your answer, I think it is best to close the thread.
