Hi guys, i know i can find many helpful agent/non-agent from different insurance companies here. I need advice in looking for a medical card/plan.

Here's my detail:
-29, non-smoker,office worker.
-Currently already have a life-ci-tpd plan for 3 years.
-am looking for a long term card that can be attached to a plan in hope that future fund/cash could somehow help reduce the card cost in future.
-currently company provide medical card for coverage.

I've look at a few cards in general (but not in detailed) and of course each has their strength for comparison. Below are my concerns and please add on if you see fit.

ING - No co-insurance which is good but low annual and life limit coverage in comparison. Generally talking about middle range plan of RM180/RM200 where the coverage is the limit is 110,000/330,000. Do you reckon this is a low in seeing current and upcoming trend of inflation as well as medical cost?

PRU - Has co-insurance and can add premium (need to pay extra) to get hospital allowance to kind of offset it. Premium wise is of the higher range and expensive. What other benefits to it that justify its higher range premium? appreciate your points for discussion sake.

Alliance - one of the most competitive premium i would say while it gives high coverage. As noted, it mentions that the claims are mostly subject to Reasonable customary charges - how can we get more details about this clause?

Above are the only plan that i manage to get some information for comparison. And below are the other questions that I hope to get an answer from these companies:

1. if exceed room and board limit (say 200), will there be 20% co-insurance or additional charges?
2. are they guaranteed renewal? if yes, till what age limit & then subject to yearly?
3. do you see the need in topup cash to the fund (for ILP) in the later stage? as early as 50?

That's all i have for now, thanks

Allianz clause
1.Conditionally renewable. The renewability of MediCover is at the Policy Owner’s option. We guarantee renewability with the condition that we continue to write this line of business.
* I assume this equals to guaranteed renewal (as long as PO intends to continue with the policy). Great.

2.If the Life Assured is hospitalised at a Room and Board rate which is higher than the eligible benefit, the Policy Owner shall bear the difference in the Hospital Room and Board charges as well as twenty percent (20%) of the other eligible benefits described in the Table of Benefits, subject to a maximum of RM1,000 for Any One Disability.
* That means it will trigger the 20% co-insurance onto the medical cost incured but good thing is limited to RM1000 max. Thanks.

3.Depend on how many rider you buy and how much u pay per month. This can be estimate by view the cash value at the quotation that generate by insurance company software.
* Will have to refer table generated on the quotation then.

Thanks for the details Mnet...

Added on March 16, 2012, 12:47 pmUnder Allianz medicover, i see that there is PayorCover where it waives the premium payment onward and get to claim the insured amount. Does it only apply to stage 3 of CI?

anyone can suggest me which product of insurans is better? like investment + healthy protection.

any company is provide - medical card + life protection + investment?

Prudential insurances is it GOOD?

if we already have big coverage for life, should we consider to have PA as well? Just for my understanding, in case we have tpd or die due to  accident, the life+CI will cover also right?

wondering how much for say rm500k life coverage, R&B rm300 medical package for a 35 years old male non smoker?
PRU is freaking expensive.

RM5500 p.a

*life (death & TPD) RM500K
*medical card cover RM100K p.a RM2MIL lifetime limit
*waiver
*hospital income RM300/day.

Its expensive because of the benefit you have in the medical plan.

which company?
sounds okay to me wor.
better than one who just quoted me recently. easily 20% more than that with less coverage.
thanks.

wonder why some people complain PRU being expensive when the premium is pretty decent in most cases. my clients always complain to me the other way round. weird.....

I bought it... after that, only the agent told me that I need to PAY FIRST medical fee then only claim from them...

I said.. IF I GOT MONEY to pay FIRST, I wont buy from you loo... he kept quite....

Imagine this... you met in an accident, need surgery or die, RM 100K... you got no money, call the agent, he say, you pay first, then take the bill to company and we claim for you
