You can try to have a look at AXA smart optimum care. If you choose the deductible option, you get some discount. You have the option of changing it back to a non deductible one before age 59 for free too. That way, if you combine your company medical insurance with this, you don't have to pay so much. And if you buy this medical card directly without an agent, you get a bit of discount too.
Just be caution that when you're opting for any feature in your insurance policy, once you've succumb to any disease and you wish to upgrade your medical card later on. You will not be able to do so as you will have to declare your health when you wish to upgrade your insurance policy.
So always opt to get the best medical card benefit rather than a sub-par. Of course, this will depend on your current budget as well. If budget permits, get a good one.
Otherwise, here's your scenario,
1. You're covered under company insurance and get a deductible personal medical card with such and such benefit.
a. You're diagnosed with critical illness of any sort
- Upon resignation from company due to company retrench, close down or firing you due to incapable to perform normal task anymore
= no more company medical card and depend on deductible personal medical card.
= after that you try to upgrade your medical card
= can't do so because you've existing illness, upgrade rejected = stick to old medical card which is probably having low annual limit and worse still with deductible, you'll have to fork out extra money for every time you're admitting to the hospital.
You get what you pay for.
