QUOTE(isis @ Jul 19 2013, 12:03 AM)
after doing alot of reading here, i still am not sure about what insurance is best for me and my family.

am hoping some of the sifu's here can please help me. I am looking for:
1. Medical insurance for husband and wife
2. Additional medical coverage for wife (something like PRUlady)

am hoping to keep the budget perhaps between RM200 to RM300 per month if possible.

at the moment, i just don't know what kind of insurance coverage i wanna have because i have NO idea how much an operation would cost.

also, my whole family travels often, so should i get an international coverage for all of us as well?

need some kind advice, thank you!

Hi,

For AIA medical card, we have family plan which covers insured and spouse and even up to 4 children as well.
If you would like to discuss more with me, kindly send your details and inquiries to cheahyang.lim@aia-premier.com.my

Good news! All medical cards issue by AIA from 17 June 2013 onwards shall not be subject to co-insurance (except for A-Plus med plan 100). And the additional room and board whilst overseas will include Singapore and Brunei as well. Effective date shall be from the end of August onwards (actual date to be confirmed later).


Regards,
Gavin Lim from AIA Bhd.

Any ideas what I can do if my agent doesn't reply to my emails? Can I just transfer and appoint somebody else without going through him?

And anyone here know any insurance that covers people who lives in strata buildings i.e. flats, apartments that also covers lift/elevator breakdown, accident etc.

1)try calling your agent . . . sometimes he is busy cant able to check the email . . . if call also didnt pick up, than you can consider finding for a new 1

2)get a personal accident plan, covers 24/7 regardsless strata building, when you are driving or on holidays
RM100K is around the region of RM160-RM200 p.a

Hi,

The overseas medical bill is claimable on reimbursement basis since there is no panel hospital outside Malaysia. If you are AIA medical card holder, you are being covered worldwide but subject to a maximum of 90 days protection if you are traveling outside Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei.

Guys, I have health card from Prudential i.e. PRUflexi med. Annual coverage is 50K and lifetime limit is 1mil. I'm 24 this year. Any ideas if this is adequate? Should I topup more for annual coverage limit?

Check out HLA MajorMedi, a complimentary plan for those who already have a medical card but need MORE coverage at fraction of cost, yet keeping existing.

How would anyone know beforehand which medical card to use when admitted to hospital? In common sense, human will choose medical card with highest annual credit limits as nobody know how much will it cost.

2nd is why having 2 medical card? I would choose to have a 450k annual credit limits for my medical card to avoid all those troubles. Of course everyone want that but it's too expensive. I would say yes if you buy with investment link or saving plan. I bought a standalone and I have no problems of the discussed issue above. It only cause me rm112 per month. 3 yrs back i was paying rm300 per month with room and board rate = rm150. As I noticed it is not even enough to cover basic sharing room rate at hospital. I switched to pacific insurance medical card with my room and board rate at rm 350 much higher than my previous 1 and i only pay rm112 per month. I have saved 188 monthly and i put in to investment and it's more than what i saved in insurance link fund and the most best part is i can withdrawn anytime without any interest compare with insurance company. Be wise all of you.

^ There is absolutely no reason for your comments to be personal, its their choice to go term.

Mo Man Tai buying investment link medical card, term medical card or even never buy. End of the day just be happy with what you have decided. But dont let your decision hunt you later back in life.

I don't recommend anyone get up till age 70, but none of them afford to get cover up to age 80. I do consider this as one of the fact need to consider. So my answer is covers up to age of 80. How much would your insurance charges for this coverage at this age, if you don't mind sharing with me. Thanks.

freewisefly, at older age, most of us had fulfilled our responsibility as a parent, whereby the children are all grown up. Hence having a high coverage on life/critical illness after retirement (> age 60) would be a burden.

However, this is also when we lose our company coverage for medical benefits and the chances of us contracting illnesses (diabetes / blood pressure) at older age are much high as compared to when we are young.

Most of the people I had as my client is having one or the other issue at age > 50, which complicates getting a medical insurance.

You could take a look at our PRUsenior med plan, a plan designed for taking care of the huge burst of medical bill. A plan medical card, with possibly the lowest insurance charges around.

<< PRUsenior med >>

The benefit of the plan includes:-
1. Medical Claim up to Rm225K per plan
2. Death benefit (RM5K)
3. The premium is locked and it is based on ENTRY AGE and it will not go up by age.
4. Guaranteed renewal up to age 80 (next birthday)
5. High entry age (up to age 70 next birthday)
6. More relaxed underwriting, for example if someone is with hypertension, under control with meds it is also able to be accepted without loading.

The only catch is it is for in-patient it is subjected to RM3K (Plan 1) & RM 6K (Plan 2) co-insurance and 10% thereafter. For out-patient, there is a 10% co-insurance.

1. Is there any bigger room and board such as rm300-500?
No, and at the moment, we have no plans to make any increase or upgrade the plan. The tagline for this product is AFFORDABLE premium at older age. If we add this and that, the insurance charges will of course be higher :-)

However, if the client want to get admitted to a higher room, the client is required to pay the differences of the room rate. No penalty for staying in higher room.


2. Is there any limit per disability?
Once anyone had claim up to RM225K the policy will end. For example if the total bill per disability is RM 225k (one shot due to serious illness or accident), the client is required to pay

a. Rm3K minimum co-insurance
b. 10% thereafter for RM 222K = RM 22,200

Total paid by client = RM 25,200, Total paid by Prudential = RM 199,800


3. Is it cover internationally?
For medical card in Malaysia, if you stay more than 90days overseas, then it is not covered.

4. Any cash allowance during admission?
Not on PRUsenior med and the concept of getting cash during admission is seriously wrong. laugh.gif You end up paying for it with higher insurance charges.

PS. Eligible entry age is 45-70 next birthday
