Oh I think that 1 you call your car insurance answer you better

Less ppl doing general insurance nowadays since the day insurance company took over and sell upfront to the customers. So better call their help desk, if you bogus it from an agent, get that agent to service you.

any prudential agents here can share the difference between PRUvalue med, and PRUlink one with medical?

i got proposed for a policy under PRUvalue med, with the following coverage:
life 300k
ci 300k
minor accident 8k
hospitalization rm200/day for room
lifetime limit 1.5mil
room and board RM300

and price is around 7k p/a... i understand from some friends that got PRUlink one with higher coverage, and lower premium... hmm so whats the difference, causing my premium to be so much higher as compared to my friend, with same premium, getting double my coverage?
*
Age, smoker/non-smoker, gender, occupation and deductible within the policy plays a factor in the premium.

suprisingly they are slightly older than me, they smoke and i dont, same gender, and occupation same not much risk/hazard involved, mostly office work... one of my friend having prulink one, said that medical coverage for him is unlimited, paying 700/month... hmm making me scratch my head...

it's better to look into their policy first then you'll be able to tell what they're enjoying and what they're paying for.

If just based on verbally, it might be inaccurate.

Guys,

Is this a good plan? The insurance agent is my friend la, he proposed AIA to me.

RM220/Monthly - I got 1 week to decide cos b'day coming

Basic Income Replacement Plan
Death Benefit - RM50k
Total Permanent Disability - RM50k
Critical Illness - RM50k
Early Pay Critical Illness - RM100K

Supp Income Replacement Plan
*Hospital & Medical - Medical Card R&B @ RM150 with APM & APMB - Annual Limit 1 Mil

Projected Returns
Age 50: 55K
Age 60: 62,400
Age 70: 14K

Questions
1- Is it good to be insured as young possible, I'm 22 yrs. The younger you are, the cheaper it is?
2- This is quite a big commitment since I'm still noob in work force + income not much (I want to save money for more important events)

*
Your friends proposal should be based on what you are financially capable of as well as what kind of coverage that is important to you.

If you think you can't afford it in the first place, you should have voice it out that you need something that is within your budget.

Get your friend to properly advise you.

Hey lifebalance,

Thanks for replying. Sorry, Is more of a financial planning advise rather than budget.

Just happen to me that I'm still young and rather use the money for other stuffs.

So I'm curious if the plan offered by my also young friend is a good? I also heard of investment-link plan.
*
I don't t know about your background but if you're young, you can plan to get yourself covered for medical expenses first, should you want to add on other riders such as death, disability and critical illness then investment link is ideal. As long as whatever plan that you have in mind, you have something to fall back on in case of an emergency.

But don't overspend too much on insurance when you're young.

Friend said CI and 36CI is within the options or some sort cos I asked him this.

If female, you suggesting the add-on female disease coverage?

Again it goes back to budget, by adding more riders, you'll have to pay more to maintain the policy

That's a wrong way to advise people in here, a person should pick insurance based on sound advise and professionalism of the insurance agent and not based on cost factor.

hi guys, currently m taking 100k prumultiple crisis cover for 1720 per year. m lookin to forfeit this n change other term life insurance due to d facts d coverage is low. 

how much premium issit per year for any insurance wit coverage of 150k. d coverage i guess shall b d basics 1, death, tpd n critical illnesses? tq

*
So you're looking for a cheaper premium coverage than 1720 per year? It sound a quite reasonable for the coverage that you're covered at the moment

Hi guys, need some additional advice here.  icon_question.gif

What does below sentences mean?

1) Premium payment term : Until the Insured reaches the age 100.
What does this mean? Pay the monthly payment till age 100?  :confused:

2) If the Med plan is Plan 150, can we request the agent to change to higher plan?
Will this impact the premium payment?

3) Maturity Benefit - Upon maturity at age 100, the Fund Value shall be payable.
Can only get the fund value once reach age 100? Is there any options to lower the age?
Appreciate your advice here. Thanks! notworthy.gif
*
1. It means you have the option to pay until 100 year old

2. Yes you will pay higher premium

3. The policy can be surrendered anytime but you will not get any maturity benefit that you will only get upon maturity that I'd 100 year old

Hello guys, would like to hear your opinion. I have a GE life insurance policy that has been going on for 24 years, since I was a child. The amount of bonus they provide is not sure yet, i'd have to check the illustration.
However, I'm in need of cash right now. Would it be wise to just cash out everything, or get a policy loan and keep it? Need your opinion, much thanks!
*
If that's the last resort then cash it out and leave some money behind to keep the policy running until you are stable again then put the money back in

What is this "insurance value will self depreciates 10% once every 6 months minimum"? Mind explain more?

I only notice my policy states if no claim within 3 years, limit of claim will increase by 10%...
*
We all know our currency depreciate over time. The value of money today will not equal to the value in the next 10 or 20 or 30 years.

Which is why money put into policies will be invested into funds to generate returns. It's not 10% as stated by the other person.

As for the claim for 3 years, if there is no claim your policy will increase your limit by 10%. Something like car insurance no claim bonus. The insurance company rewards you

Thanks Adele & Life Balance for the prompt answer. I've actually took out the bonus already. Around 20k, however, I'm still in need of cash. The decision I'm left to make is the Policy Loan and to Cash out. Frankly, I do not see any benefits of maintaining the policy. What benefits would there be? Could you shed light on this matter? Thank you!
*
The benefit is that the policy will still be in force to pay out in the event you fall sick or accident or there is a death occur while you're busy repaying your debts.

You do not want to pay for another unknown bill while still owing to your debt which will make you fall back even much more

Please explain then?

what if hospital charged more than Medical fee As Charged (Subject to Reasonable and Customary Charges) and based on standard charge rate for all private hospitals based on the Private HealthCare Facilities and Services (Private Hospitals and other Private HealthCare Facilities) Regulation 2006 of Malaysia ?
*
It's simple as per Juihwei explanation, call and clarify with the hospital once the insurance company have made a decision.

The insurance company will not short the client as the adjuster will look into the matter. Then it falls back to the hospital for over charging unnecessary cost.

The hospital is also not silly enough to overcharge the insurance company because they know it will be checked, and ruin their reputation in the industry with other competing hospitals.

Try not to over imagine things and be rational with what you're trying to say in here as it will cause confusion.

If you're not sure, ask and verify with agents first before you start your allegations without proof.

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any insurance plan for pre-existing disease? I am diabetic and I am looking forward to purchase insurance coverage for rm200k for life.

Thank You.

Can provided the insulin reading is controlled and no other issue like high blood pressure.

Most likely will only be granted life insurance without TPD coverage + loading.

Great. Does it collide with the existing Insurance that I have? My scenario is as such,

1. Bought an Insurance (Life+Medical) incl TPD but the sum was very low. RM45k (Life)/360k whole life (Medical)
2. Bought in 2011.
3. Admitted once in 2013 in Park CIty MC

Now I want to buy RM200k policy for life only. How?

My diabetic reading is between 7mmol - 12mmol
No Blood Pressure
But got a bit high cholesterol.

Can Pass??

Will need to check with underwriter but it can't be assessed just verbally like this. Will need to do a medical check up

Let me know if you want to go through it

I believe I was very straight forward with my answers to both Mnet and to you.
How have I made the picture more blur?  :confused:
If you would be so kind to explain.

If you would like, I am more than happy to straighten your case for you.
I trust that my team and I are more than capable to handle your case.
However confusing it may be, we accept the challenge.

You may PM me and we will work from there.
