credit card activated all the time, and its not just the agent

like now policy due liao, they say we will submit a notification to you - didnt happen
call them ask about the problem, owh we cant find you in our system,
ask whats the problem can only tell me "we cant debit from your CC"
ask further why, is it agent got my details wrong, whichever, "dont know, we just cant debit from CC"

last round same,

policy lapse that i didnt know, a few months after it lapse i finally receive a mail saying it lapse.
why it lapse, well i thought auto debit settled liao, mana tau haven't yet, this lasted a few months
then i chase and find out, promise to get it done by 1 week, not sorted out by both agent and customer support
everyone has the idea owh your policy due on "x" date still got time, until i pointed out, that it has already lapse, then all stfu,
after that i fed up have to go AIA HQ, scold people, call agent scold him again = settle.

hell my gym also no such problem, so i dont understand what simply credit from my CC.

AIA said they will do a lot of things, but didnt, they say they should go after agent, the guy is still there, they say will call me back, never did, they say will do this for you and let me know whats the result, - no response.

i just got off the phone from AIA, he say will sort it out manually, now i see if he will call back a not. will keep you updated.

Hi guys.

For someone who has a pre-existing medical condition, is there any insurance company that can provide coverage for me? How much is the monthly payment going to be like?

What's your condition?

Then from there, you will need to sign up to see whether the underwriter will take in your risk. If you need consultation on this feel free to whatsapp me

I am 29 this year. have a medical insurance with AIA and paying Rm300/month. The coverage is 1Mil according to the agent. Am I paying too much for a medical insurance?
Any advice would be appreciated! smile.gif

Depends on what's the policy for during that moment.

1 Mil for health insurance as in annual limit ?

You're a smoker ?

Will need more details from you to find out. Feel free to WhatsApp or pm me

Yes.are you self employed? What age is the coverage until? 80? Is this stand alone or ILP

I don't think it's appropriate to give an answer without even finding out whats behind that policy. You may mislead a customer by your statement and influence them to make a wrong decision without assessing the matter.

Not self employed, it covered until 100, standalone I guess. very little on the investment last heard from the agent.

What is the difference between standalone and ILP medical card in terms of premium payment?
*
Standalone plans premium is an upward chart

user posted image

Meaning your premium increases as you grow older.

ILP premium is on a level ground, and the cash value in the account is accumulated each year but the cost of premium is similar to that of a standalone plan

The difference is that ILP premium will be higher initially to accumulate the cash value portion projected for your plan to last until 65, 80 or 100 years old to match the increasing medical card cost of insurance.

However, since ILP investment are on risk basis, the recommended budget might be sufficient or insufficient to last until the projected ages should there be anything bad happens to the economy.

Hope this is clear enough.

Very well-explained. Thank heaps  notworthy.gif
Agent told me in the long run ILP medical card would be cheaper coz premium would be maintained at fixed price till maturity. However after reading the sifus' replies here, I see that it depends on how the ILP investment performs in the market.
*
That agent explanation might be abit off. Getting an ILP medical card is cheaper in the long term because your investment (cash value accumulated) paid partly on top of your regular premium as compared to you paying the premium for standalone without any investment return to pay on your behalf.

It's not due to "premium would be maintained at fixed price till maturity" doh.gif

Hi Sifus,

I am a fresh grad just starting working life a year ago, looking to buy insurance.

May I know any advise on how much of medical coverage should I need?

Is there a percentage based on income or something?

I work in the office (not risky job) 25yo this year.

Many Thanks!

You may get a medical card couple with some life insurance and critical illness with a waiver, depending on your lifestyle and your role in your family and also your future planning. Feel free to arrange a time to meet up for consultation if you're keen

any idea roughly how much premium should i be getting?

GE quoted me 3k annually (1.2m medical coverage), is it over insured?

So what's your gross & nett salary?

Minimum expenses monthly right now ? (inclusive food, travelling, etc)

What commitments do you have under your name ?
- e.g Loan from banks for house, car, what's the outstanding amount ?

You may PM me if you are not comfortable to reveal it here.

And what about general insurance standalone medical card and life insurance standalone medical card? What's the difference?

Anything standalone tend to have no cash value in nature. The benefit will differ in between companies so it's up to you to decide.

yesterday i got a shock of my life when i found out that my life insurance nominee is someone i do not know. My nominees were nominated donkey years back and now i want to update new nominees and found that the current one is someone i do not know @@ I suggest all of you to please go and check if your nominee(s) are still intact! :/

My agent is currently following up on this and I am not going to speculate what happened,  so i have nothing to tell, but apparently i need my "current unknown nominee" signature to update my new nominee @@ i was like wtf...why do i need my nominee's signature or permission to nominate whoever i wanna gib my monies to?!! especially when i dont even know who this is...
weirder is, my husband who wants to update his nominees too didnt have to "ask" permission to do so (his nominees are still family members btw)
*
Most likely this guy had been nominated as a trustee to your policy and you need this person's signature (permission) to change anything in your policy.

Hi Guys,

Need Some advice on home insurance or MLTA.
i was originally planning to get the MLTA, but then Allianz had offer me their premierlink which is about 100 per month. total 1500 per year.

which sounds and looks better than MLTA and goes to me or family member instead of directly to bank which i believe is what MLTA is.
i have read the previous posts and found out since its a ILP, its been quoted to me with 100% invested in "allianz life managed fund"

i just need it to cover my home or future home if anything happen to me. i already have a medical insurance.

im worried about the fund allocation, if i need to pay anything extra in the future if the investment had gone bad or something like that.

appreciate your opinion and advice.  notworthy.gif
*
As long as it's an ILP, the investment risk is there whether you'll be getting bull or bear return.

If you need something certain then you can opt for Traditional policy coverage. Feel free to let me know what you're looking for.

you seem to know what you are getting into. Yes, if and when the investment really go that bad, you may need to top up. Yes, it's not MLTA, just an ILP that is quite cheap and works well to leave a sum behind for your loved ones (which still serves its purpose at the end of the day, because that's what you want correct?)

Yes, if you opt for MRTA, you won't have to worry about investment going bad, BUT the money will go directly to the bank instead.

There's no wrong or right but if you don't want this ILP, MRTA is/should be the cheapest option.
*
MRTA is not the cheapest. The cost of ownership is higher in the long run as you're literally being charged extra 4.5% interest (based on housing loan rates average) on top of it. Compared with ILP.

Most likely typo / human error when they registered the system. doh.gif big mistake though, you can sue the insurance company provided you got the proof like the proposal form signed by you when you apply for the insurance policy and it is written differently.

If I have a investment-linked insurance with term life coverage and add-on critical illness coverage, can I use it to claim medical insurance income tax relief?

No, you will only be claiming the life portion, there is no medical portion in here unless you add on the medical card rider.
