Can anyone help me out here, I am currently reviewing insurance especially life and accident insurance because I am sure I will need one.
Just a few questions to help me do my research:
1. If my employer have life and accident insurance on my name, will I be able to undertake my own personal life and accident insurance ? Reason I am asking because I will be working offshore at the rig site. I heard if you have 2 policies of the same kind under your name with different insurance companies you can only claim one? It means if my employer claim my life insurance from company A if I am dead or injured does it mean my family will not be able to claim for my life insurance from company B?
2. Any life and accident insurance with overseas coverage? Is it better to go with a global insurance institution due to this overseas coverage?
How much does the typical life insurance cost per-month? I am male, 24 y.o, no prior existing disease and non-smoker, for policy payout value ranging from rm500k to rm1 million.
I am receptive if you could point out to me insurance products online that best meet my needs for my consideration.
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Hey I will be working initially as a field engineer trainee, the company is a reputable MNC and overall OHS is top notch. First 5 years will be intensive because I will be offshore often but as time goes by responsibility will be more towards supervising and managing at each job, then eventually moving towards office based. I give myself 7 -10 years offshore which is more than enough and based on my segment, 4 weeks offshore is the norm although extreme could be 6 months depending on the workload.
Thanks for price quote, if in the future I will be office based will the "risk premium loading" be gone and so how much typically % risk premium loading on the standard premium based on my brief jobscope? Because I am planning to to take the life insurance long term and due to the nature of the industry that I am in, overseas coverage is a must.
Thanks again for the help, I appreciate it heaps.
1. There is no limitation of claim for for all the Life/TPD/36Critical Illness, you are free to claim for all the companies you bought once the event as mentioned above happen.Thanks for price quote, if in the future I will be office based will the "risk premium loading" be gone and so how much typically % risk premium loading on the standard premium based on my brief jobscope?

However, the only limitation is medical card coverage. For some of the medical cards that do have with co-insurance or the bill is over the limit of your medical card, the co-insurance/over limit price could be bear by another medical card(in Great Eastern, I'm not sure do other company allow this).
Example:If you have "Y medical card R&B100, annual limit 50k, co-insurance 20%(no max)", "X medical card R&B200, annual limit 80k, co-insurance 10%(max RM500)"
If the total bill is RM50k and you used room&board RM300 for 3 days, you need to pay RM50,000 x 20% = RM10k(co-insurance), and the room&board of RM300-RM100 x 3 days = RM600. Total RM10,600. However, you may bring this RM10,600 to your "X Medical card", the RM600 extra room&board will be bear by the "X medical card" and the rest RM10,000, you only have to pay RM10,000 x 10%(max RM500), that is only RM500.
2.As Steven mentioned, Life/TPD/36 CI works globally, but you are advise to have your own medical coverage because *touchwood* if major illness happens, your medical card with your company will be terminated, if your service with your company is ended by your company.
For term assurance coverage up to age 60, Death and TPD, quotation from Great Eastern is.
1)RM500k, Life/TPD = RM220.10/month, Life/TPD/36 CI = RM325.10/month
2)RM1m, Life/TPD = RM440.15/month, Life/TPD/36 CI = RM545.15/month
For Whole life assurance coverage up to age 99.
1)RM500k, Life/TPD/36CI = RM1211.90/monthly or RM13,850/yearly
After 10 years, Total Premium paid = RM138,500, Surrender value = RM117,955, Coverage = RM677,470.
After 20 years, Total Premium paid = RM277,000, Surrender value = RM396,783, Coverage = RM1,063,263(double).
After 30 years, Total Premium paid = RM415,500, Surrender value = RM832,146, Coverage = RM1,425,746(almost triple).
After 40 years, Total Premium paid = RM554,000, Surrender value = RM1,536,198, Coverage = RM1,997,198(almost quadruple).
After 50 years, Total Premium paid = RM692,000, Surrender value = RM2,682,588, Coverage = RM3,006,588(almost 6 times).
After 60 years, Total Premium paid = RM831,000, Surrender value = RM4,679,073, Coverage = RM4,840,073(almost 10 times).
What is Surrender value?
It means that when you surrender your policy(terminate your policy), this is the money you will retrieve. For example above, after 20 years, the total premium you paid is RM277,000, but when you terminate your policy, you could take back more than you have paid, ie: RM396,783.
Investment linked.
RM500k coverage, Life/TPD/36CI, medical card R&B200, annual limit RM120,000, lifetime limit RM1,200,000, Waiver of premium. RM400/monthly
RM1million coverage, Life/TPD/36CI, medical card R&B200, annual limit RM120,000, lifetime limit RM1,200,000, Waiver of premium. RM700/monthly
If you need the explaination between term vs Whole life vs investment link, do let me know.
Job changing, smoking status, high risk activity changing and non-disclosure is important to report to the company, especially unintention non-disclosure as this may greatly affect the possibility of claim.
