No, it is not claimable under PruLady as it is an added cover against female illnesses.

PruLady is not a medical card. She needs to use her medical card in order to claim for gallstones removal.

<< PruLady Cover Details >>

Does she has a medical card?

If yes, then feel free to pass my contact to her if she needs help to on claiming from her medical card.
It is a wrong advise.
*
Since the plan specifically covers only female diseases then you will not be entitled to claim for the above.

This will fall under medical card claim.

Thanks

hi sifus,
On Bank Negara site , under "List of Licensed Financial Institutions",
may i know the differences between these 2 as below:
  General Business Only --> Lonpac Insurance Berhad
  Life Business Only --> Great Eastern Life Assurance (Malaysia) Berhad
And i would like to get medical card insurance for my parent.
i am looking at the lonpac insurance as they offer quite a good deal compare to GE/AIA/Pru.

i afraid they have lot hidden details.

please enlight me if you guys have any experience on making claim on lonpac insurance..

Lonpac is a General Insurance company, they do provide standalone medical card.

if you want to do a comparison, it will be endless, I suggest you pick a good agent that service you for medical insurance.

For life policies, I'd advise you to pick it from a Life Insurance company as the benefits are normally more extensive.

I note that there are a myriad of insurance coverage out there, but does this sum up the purposes accurately?

Life insurance (Traditional Whole Life / Term Life) :

Meant to cushion / provide financial assistance to those you left behind. Technically, the money is not for you, but rather to assist in getting your loss-of-income (as you as the beradwinner has since passed on) to cover for the expenses for your loved ones.
Health Insurance :

Employer-sponsored programmes : The insurance coverage provided by your employer, for as long as you serve in the company. In most cases, it only provides reimbursement for clinic visits, and to some extent costs related to hospital admissions.

Medical Card : Similar to employer-sponsored programmes, but in this case, you have to pay for the premiums yourself.
Total Permanent Disabilities (TPD) :
Financial assistance provided to you in the case of permanent disabilities. Though there cover many types of disabilities, the payout is only once the policy lapses.
Am not sure where ILP stands then? A mixed of both Life + medical ?
*
Life insurance coverage will be used to pass on to your next of kin so that the issue of money with the breadwinner is gone is not a problem

TPD is normally packaged together with life insurance so that upon disability the living person don't have to suffer financially when he might be unable to work for a long period of time or totally can't work in the same job based on his experience and ability.

Medical card for all hospital bills, used to pay for all high cost hospital bills in the event of hospitalization due to disease, sickness or accident.

Critical illness is not normally packaged together so you have to add on yourself. Covers all 36 critical illness or another rider that covers early critical illness as well.

ILP is basically where you pay extra amount for investment in this policy so that the insurance company will invest it for you while providing you a insurance coverage while any return will be given back to you in the form of cash value. However returns are non guaranteed and premium you spend could be lower compared to a traditional plan

QUOTE(watabakiu @ Jul 7 2016, 11:15 AM)
Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated!

What about Critical Illnesses? Would it be better paired up with Health insurance and/or life insurance?
*
Normally will be advisable to tag in as a person who survives critical illness would normally need to spend more in their lives due to change of lifestyle or diet and lost of income.

Is there any policy that I diagnosed critical illness oversea and have no problem coming back to msia to claim the insurance?
*
If you ha e critical illness and you survive. Just file a claim that you are diagnosed as such while at overseas.

If you talking about medical card then you may be treated overseas or choose to come back to Malaysia for the treatment. Also provided you are within the 90 days travelling abroad term otherwise you can't claim if you have travelled for more than 90 days abroad.

How is takaful different from the non-takaful insurance plan?
*
Compliance with the shariah law which means it adheres to the teaching of Islam. Muslim are recommended to take takaful otherwise they will still be subjected to islamic law such as the distribution of wealth upon deceased.

The product Feature might be similar to conventional but the terms and condition are not. Please do not mistaken takaful = non takaful.

As per the above link posted you may refer to the difference via the link for own study.

Thks very much for your advice, how to know if our ilp is matured ? Is it looking at the cash value generated by the investment?
*
The policy cover note will state when is the expiry or maturity of your policy, certain ILP policy might not have any cash value at all upon maturity. Depending on the product that you've bought.

Some policy to attached along with few charts, one of the chart will shown projected returns or cash value, one column with the lowest % return n the other columns with highest % return. This return is projected and non guarantee. This chart will show total accumulated amount per year. You can calculated the growth of % each year. If the % less than those outside which can offer, do consider to swing. When you look at the chart, you will notice the amount will start reducing on that year onwards and then till certain years...it will shown ---. That's mean ur cash gone and u hv 2 choices here...either pay an expensive premium for that outdated protection or pray that you are in good health.

99% insurance agent do not explain this chart to insurer..hope this helpful to you for better decision making.

99% would be a big slap of generalization towards insurance industry based on your point of view though. rolleyes.gif

Dear all,

Do you ever heard about this MXM International company?

They are started to go aggressive in promoting their medical card which was claimed to be one of the best in the market.

I just want to know.. is their policies issued underwritten by the qualified insurance company?

Seems to be rojak with Pathlab, Lonpac, Asia Assistance.

Not sure about the cost of insurance but it could be higher due to so many other add on with Pathlab health screening and etc.

Ya, in insurance, one of the reason that a person could be very satisfied of a service might be due to prompt claim..

So.. Waiting for him to quote what have made him feel satisfied..

Just make sure to follow the guideline and file the claim within the time frame stupulated in the policy and the insurance company will follow back the standard procedure to payout any claim if there is no doubt on the claim.

As usual only share the bad news when there are also good news. Why not be a fair reviewer rather than 1 sided ?

Well, I do spend some time on reading this thread and being silent reader. So far what I see is, insurance agents will says how superior their brand is and never say anything bad.
When some people saying bad on insurance, those fellows will being group bashed by all the agents here. If were to say getting fair review, I don't see the term of "fair" can be used in this forum.
I know that in cyber world are more for people to release stress, but at the same time I do hope to see real world fair review and not 1 side story which not that happening here.
So, any views on that 3 news I posted? I would like to hear from insurance agent on this and not just attacking it. Like Supersound said before, insurance agents will only cheat and mislead to secure a business. I do see there's truth on his statement considering that 3 news.
*
1. Malpractice by agents who don't follow guidelines would be dealt with their own insurance company. Happens to any industry out there. Lawyers, doctors, accountant, auditors, are they all saints ? why put the blame to just insurance industry ? are they any different ? are salesman of any company different out there different when they mis-sell and promise the heavens in advertising, healthcare, etc ?

The summary of it is integrity and ethics, it's too bad that somewhere in our walk of life we meet some of these people, unless your life had been a bed of roses and everyone is treating you well, then good for you.

2. Insurance company has every right to investigate or doubt a claim
a. Not because they don't want to pay out anything but because if they do doubt a claim to cheat insurance money which happens alot including General Insurance (fake a windscreen broke when they just want to break it to claim a new 1 rolleyes.gif , set their own building on fire to cash out quickly on a property but claim it's arson innocent.gif ).

Well you can argue that those are not medical claims, so what about undeclared personal health condition upon inception of policy, hiding material facts, working with the doctor to jack up a medical bill which is out of the norm and claim back later for personal use ?

You think we've not seen it all ? Faking death, missing and then claim a high sum assured later to found out that person ran away and hid somewhere and claim insurance money to live a life somewhere else ?

b) If the insurance company is satisfied with all the material fact, payout is definitely.

Well, looks like the best way to avoid being cheated is avoid buying, correct?
1. Well, indeed no human are saint in this world, but most insurance are devil.
2. you already out of topic, relating general insurance are totally different to denied medical claim. But still you do point out 1 main point, insurance company has the right to deny a claim. Now watching a TVB drama which talk about this.
When people want to buy medical insurance, most agent never ask the people to do medical checkup, just my relatives already 3 fellows got denied because of this.
*
How off topic am I when I'm relating it, don't try to deny about that.

If the underwriter does not require an applicant to go through a check up based on the declaration then it's fine, otherwise, if you have done some check up yourself and still insist to the agent to write you as a standard case then it's the applicants fault. If the agent were to apply as per standard knowing the client has health issue then it's the agents fault.

Now slap out of all these negative talks and start behaving like a proper person than a critique who endless blame insurance even knowing that it's not entirely the insurance company fault as the applicants who apply who for policy.

The steps are so simple to follow yet people can't seem to follow
Insurance company provide the coverage
Applicant provide the declaration of all physical evidence & premium paid
Insurance provides the policy coverage
Applicant files any claim as per within policy coverage
-- Done --

So hard to follow ?
