QUOTE(jdachum @ Jun 16 2016, 12:28 AM) Hi, I would like to know if I buy PRUvalue med from Prudential and picked the plan till age 90, the premium rate per annum will be fixed till I am 90 years old or will be increased according to my age? Your contribution premium is fixed but your cost of insurance will continue to increase as you grow older. The cost of insurance is not fixed and subject to increase in between you age until 90 yr old due to many factors like change of regulation, environment, industry, claim history in overall of that insurance company, increase in overall cost, etc . |

QUOTE(galaxynote259 @ Jun 16 2016, 10:12 AM) Hi guys, if I choose a medical card plan with Co insurance and deductible, it will lower my premium right? Which company offers this kind of plan ? Yeap, getting co-insurance and deductible will lower the amount of premium that you pay but you will need to pay upfront any deductible required for the treatment.E.g your surgery is 16k, your deductible is 10k, you will fork out RM10,000 first, then 6k is claim under the medical card. Sometimes you might think you're saving on premium but in fact you're forking more out. The above is practical if you have a company medical card and would like to use this personal card is an extra coverage on top of the low annual limit from the company medical card. |

QUOTE(galaxynote259 @ Jun 16 2016, 11:48 AM) sounds like i really need to do the math carefully to assess whether it is more value for money. Cost of insurance is always subjected to change as mentioned to you based on the above factors.insurance company do have a projected premium for different age for standalone medical card plan, but they are subject to change right? i assume you're an agent? if yes, have u seen some client's standalone medical card actual premium vs insurance company estimated premium? Normally the standalone medical card future premium is tabulated as per inception of the policy, should the insurance company find a need to increase the cost of insurance in the future, they will notify you in advance on that. However, if there is no changes made then you need not to worry about the increase in cost. If you are worried about that then purchasing a investment link medical card will be more ideal as you have investment returns to offset future increase of cost of insurance. Of course the usual clause that investment are non-guaranteed, cost of insurance increase might reduce the period of how long ur investment link policy can last etc. I'd advise you to get a non-deductible medical card to have a peace of mind instead albeit paying a higher premium.

QUOTE(sixtycents @ Jun 16 2016, 07:06 PM) Hey guys, Different insurance company have different risk appetite or guideline depending on the underwriter on your case though there is a standard for it but depends also if they are willing to accept you with other t&c. You may try ur luck around if your health problem is not serious. If it's quite serious then tough luck.I have a doubt and I hope any sifu can help. I was admitted into hospital like 10+ years ago due to anaemia caused by malnutrition (diagnosed by doctor). Since then until now im healthy and illness free. Last year I applied for a health insurance under this A company they requested me to do a blood test to prove that i was healthy and so i did. The result was okay and i was accepted as standard policy. This year the agent approached me again and asked if I want to apply for medical card and said since I already did the blood test and they have the record it would be easy for them to approve me. But i was approached by another agent from company B to buy their medical card as well and im more interested in this. So i went this company B instead. But after the blood test came out they said they have to delay my proposal because i was still unfit to be accepted. I was required to do the test for second time. Now the agent from company A came to me again and ask me to apply from them as I have nothing to lose. He also said that if i got rejected from company B this time it will be harder for me to be accepted in the future. So he suggested that i apply from him first and I can cancel it within a month if im accepted by company A. So my question is if i apply from company A will it affect my application from company B? Do I have to declare it when I apply with company B? I wonder if they get to check that i have applied from other company. And is it true that if i got rejected this time it will be difficult for me to apply insurance nx time? Sorry for the long post. Just hope anyone can clear my doubt here. Thank you! |

QUOTE(watabakiu @ Jun 18 2016, 10:04 PM) To confirm, standalone comprehensive medical insurance plan would mean that the premium paid is considered burn/hangus? e.g. no accumulation of sum paid? 1. Yes, premium is directly offset by cost of insurance, no investment value involved.That, and how is 'standalone comprehensive medical insurance plan' different than other medical insurance plan? I do like the term comprehensive, but am not sure if it is any different than other medical card? 2. for AIA, both are comprehensive, difference is with / without investment. Other companies might have different practice on the comprehensiveness. |

QUOTE(stingleton @ Jun 22 2016, 05:53 PM) Sifu-sifu sekalian, The difference with the premium could be caused by the feature of the product.I currently have an existing medical card and a basic coverage of ~100K across Death/TPD/36CI (all with GE) and would like to top up my protection (higher priority on income replacement for Early CI, but would ideally want the Death/TPD benefits if possible). Wanted to ask for opinion in terms of which plan proposed is better and what are the pitfalls of each that I might not be aware off: - Guess ultimately this might be a standalone vs rider comparison? Which is better for what kind of situation? - Seems like quite a big difference in the monthly premium though. How come? - Current medical card with GE has some form of early CI payout as well (think it was 25-50-100). Will claims be more difficult if I get a separate AIA protection? Do they accept copies or both insists on original from the hospital? 1) GE Early VantageCare (Proposed Sum Assured: 150K to 175K) - Early CI payout of 50% (Stage 1), 100% (Stage 2), 100% (Stage 3) - Sum assured is payable for Death/TPD/Full CI Claims a) Since this is a standalone CI ILP, the sum assured is projected to rise over time, which means death, TPD and CI coverage increases over the years. b) Upon full CI claim, policy is considered terminated (so no more death/TPD benefit), but there is option for death benefit buyback (apparently GE will calculate premium based on the rate for age of next birthday at that point in time, but no additional loading imposed --> "Premium of the buyback cover shall be at the same class of rating as this policy and in accordance with the company's rate then in use for the age next birthday of life assured without evidence of assurability". - Estimated Monthly Premium: Max RM 400 1) AIA A-LifeLink + Early Critical Care Rider + Premium Waiver Rider upon CI (Proposed Sum Assured: 150K to 175K) - Early CI payout of 30% (Stage 1), 60% (Stage 2), 100% (Stage 3) - Sum assured is "separated" between Death/TPD and CI (since the latter is technically a rider). a) Since this is an ILP, sum assured is projected to rise over time, which means death & TPD coverage increases over the years. b) For CI, since is is a rider, the sum assured will remain static. c) Apparently, Death & TPD coverage is still inforced at 100% of sum assured *even after* full CI claim. (Not sure if this is true or agent is just smoking me) - Estimated Monthly Premium: Max RM 300 As per AIA's policy, the reason your agent mention it will still inforce is because of the waiver rider, upon TPD or CI, if there is still any amount left in the death benefit, the policy will continue but you don't have to pay for the premium, although I don't understand why the agent did that unless there is an add on medical card then it would be more beneficial. But you can still choose which is more beneficial for you. |

QUOTE(Jupiter Pirate @ Jun 27 2016, 08:46 AM) Hey everyone, You don't really have to cancel any insurance now unless you plan to move abroad permanently or more than a year period. You may get a travel insurance that covers annually until you come back.I'm planning to move abroad for work next year. If I get medical insurance now, is there a way to transfer the insurance to my destination? If not, am I allowed to cancel policies after 1 year? Or should I just continue being uninsured until I move abroad? Thanks. |

QUOTE(f-24 @ Jun 27 2016, 01:21 PM) Hello everyone. Need opinion from you guys. Hi. Based on scenario I would advise you to get a basic life policy with the medical card. Can be doable with budget around 150 to 200 a month depending on what rider you want to add on. Some extra life coverage for yourself in the event of critical illness then can be used as some extra pocket money to sustain your cost of living after you've contracted any critical illness.I am a fresh graduate, single and just recently work. My company is giving 30k annual limit for medical and 70k for term life insurance. Plus ive taken 100k asb loan with insurance if anything happens to me bank will pay the loan and parents will get the 100k asb cert. I need ur opinion which one should i take whether an additional medical card or term life or critical illness. Or should i just buy a medical card only. Is it possible as i heard agent will include all the rider plan. Ive allocated below 200 for this all this insurance thingy and hope can make it below 150. Living as a fresh graduate with my current salary is quite hard so need to save up. |

QUOTE(seanking26 @ Jun 27 2016, 11:29 PM) Insurance is a service industry thus personal touch to it such as relationship building and to understand your financial needs and to advise you accordingly rather than just buying out of the store like general insurance which is a standard product. |
