There is no such thing of "how much should I insured myself".
It depended on individual financial affordability, preference, and situation of financial dependents.

Just remember insurance is not everything in your life, and it won't able to cover every sickness (even your signed up 10 mil of medical coverage), so you need your own saving to help yourself as well.

Dear,

If you have a saving that shows RM100 in return for RM1million do let us know. Plenty of us in this forum would be interested.

Insurance is not everything but insurance is the only thing to pay for "unknown future medical expenses"

I had teeth root canal problem not a few times, and the pain can cause one loose sleep overnight, so painful, (those experienced before will know well), but medical insurance is not covering those medical expenses.
And the operation easily cost a few thousand for full treatment if one doesn't want to opt to remove the teeth simply.

Please do not paint medical insurance is paying up every single medical treatment, the policy never said it does.
Every insurance has its own scope of coverage.

We do not want to see if anything happening on client then the client fail to claim compensation from insurance then accuse insurance is cheating them.
Insurance never cheat.

Eg. classic and typical situation may occur.
Hey agent, last time you said insurance is the only thing to pay for "unknown future medical expenses", now I have medical expenses on the root canal sickness, why insurance no pay me?

Dear,

I agree with you that it will only get more expensive to go for an operation. I agree with you that every insurance has its scope of coverage.

I don't practice medical so I'm not in a right position to advice. From my understanding whats dead, you must remove it from your body. Including your tooth. Case to case. If you do have a dead of half dead tooth its advise to remove it instead of doing a root canal because root canal can cause heart disease. Of cause "the doctor" usually will advice you to do a root canal because it cost 100 times more than to remove it. Google it over the internet.

Root canal aside. If you choose not to remove your tooth therefore it means to retain it for beauty purpose. Sorry to say most insurance company do not cover beauty surgery.

Lets talk about other serious diseases that involves the organs which will cost 10-100 times of the dental fees. It is classify under critical illness, for standard cases it will be covered.

Hey bro, we do not need jokers trying to be funny and dance around a procedure that is not covered, dismissing it as "beauty procedure" and then ask someone who has went through the procedure and cannot claim to think about other more serious illnesses that cost more?  doh.gif

Are you supersound's former agent?

Dear,

Its nothing funny most already know insurance do not cover dental. Today dental has evolve, people don't only go see a dentist due to infection, fair amount of people are visiting the dentist for beauty purpose (braces). Imagine some one has crooked set of tooth?

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)
*
Dear,

For husband and wife case, I may suggest you to do absolute assignment. Your husband to absolute assign the policy to you. An example, In order to change from you to your child, your husband need to assign back to him self, then only assign to your child. That way its a must to get permission from the policy holder and not simply nominate Tom Dick and Harry as a nominee / trustee.

It is a good practice to review your policy yearly so that you will know where you stand financially and update your nominee / trustee. Same goes with EPF…

Sounds like you had a horrible experience with insurance policies. Care to share how they cheated you?
Anyhow, I finally managed to surrender the policy after I got nominee's consent.
My sentiments precisely. It's my policy, why would I need to get others' consent to do whatever I want to do with it? That's why I hope the agents here can clarify on the matter.
*
Dear,

Once you have nominated someone as the beneficiary. He or she is legally entitled the policy benefits upon the policy holder's demise, therefore the nominee must be consented. It applies to asignee and trustee too.

Thank you for your response. Does that mean if nominee refuses to consent, there's no way the insured could surrender the policy or make changes to the policy?

Dear,

To put it short yes.

Much obliged for the comprehensive reply  notworthy.gif
Another question, so if the nominee is deceased and there is no surviving parent, the policy owner would have to nominate 'the Public Trustee or a trust company'?
*
Dear,

Just show death cert as proof of death that nominee is no longer here. Auto void when nominee pass away.

If still want to maintain policy, re appoint a new nominee.

Damn.. This insurance thingy surely sounded like a scam.
It doesn't make sense if the policy holder is still alive and not in control of the policy but the nominee has the final say. 😑

It's not like the nominee is paying for the policy at all.
*
Dear,

Don't be confused. The original question is policy holder wants to surrender policy, does it require nominee's consent? Yes it does, but what if nominee pass away? Then just provide death cert as proof.

Thing is, why do you need the consent of the nominee when the policy belongs to you in the first place?

Do you need the consent of the nominee when you want to nominate them as your nominee?

Many of us here miss out the other part of insurance which is coverage, TPD, 36 CI, income tax saving and many more. There is a Chinese saying, if you die tomorrow thats fine, but what if you don't die? What if you are paralyse? What if you are disabled? What if you got a critical illness and cant continue working for the rest of your life? If you die, you leave behind debts, if you don't die you leave behind a burden to your family members…

I thought Critical Illness can claim for the medical portion?

Dear,

To make things really clear, CI falls under "Insurans Pendidikan dan Perubatan RM3000 terhad" You have got to find out what type of policy you are holding because different types of plan has different percentage of relief for the above mention relief.

By the end of March or early April, you should be getting your insurance statement.

In the insurance statement, it will be listed how much premium is for Life, how much premium is for your CI rider.

You can claim Life amount tax relief but not CI.
*Very important: CI is not medical cover.
No "buts",
No "i thought",
No "my agent said..."

The above is applicable to ILP policies.
*
Dear,

It does not limit to Investment Link Policy (ILP) only. Traditional policy do have 36 CI coverage!

If your plan has a 36 CI rider it falls under this tax relief column.

hello people,
I'm in mid 20s. two agents approached me with two different proposals, respectively
Agent 1:
-Death 80k(99yr)+TPD 80k(70yr)+CI 80k(99yr)+AL=990K +Investment
RM200 per month very straight forward.

Agent 2:
Suggest buy medical-investment linked, buy another life insurance standalone(traditional)
Medical linked investment=1.9k per annum
Life insurance itself=800 per annum
RM225 per month

Why buy separate? Pay life insurance rm800 for entire life, CI value increases.

Investment linked plan (from agent 1) price will be reviewed and thus increases when i get older, life insurance incorporated in it will be more expensive.
Which is reasonable? rclxub.gif

Dear,

The above is not apple to apple comparison therefore its hard to choose. You will need to put both quotations side by side and translate all the "insurance language" into English language. At such a young age for sure you still got chance to upgrade in the future if you are married / with children /etc.

There are plenty of benefits besides just paying …Free consultation is just a PM away …

A quick and easy solution to your problem. Just admit into your panel hospital and make sure you spend more than 8 hours in the hospital to allow all the above scans to be made.

Dear Insurance sifu,

Recently, I came across this advertisement.

AXA 200 CancerCare
https://110cancercare.com/

- 50% of Cancer Patients Will Be Financially Broke A Year After Diagnosis  sad.gif
- 1 in 4 People in Malaysia Will Develop Cancer sad.gif

It started me thinking on cancer treatment, a few questions came to my mind:

1. Does insurance medical card cover for hospitalization of early stage cancer?
2. Does it cover for treatment (chemotherapy/radiotherapy/etc.) for early stage cancer?

Thanks for helping to answer this for the benefit of those buying insurance.
*
Dear,

1. Any hospitalization will be covered regardless if its early stage cancer. If anyone is diagnose with early stage cancer, there will be an additional pay out.

2. It will have to depend on what stage is the "early stage" so usually when you said early stage therefore it might not require (chemotherapy / radiotherapy / etc), Yes treatment is covered.

For female, there is also lady care rider for common female cancers and further more there is also buy back option where you are enable to purchase another policy.

Hi,

Wonder any one can help me. I'm having a investment link life and medical plan with AIA that I bought more than 10 years ago.

Back then the medical plan has co insurance and lifetime limit.

I found out recently that the new medical
Plan do not have co insurance and life limit any more so I approach another agent from AIA asking whether I'm able to upgrade my existing medical plan.

However, I'm being told by this new agent that even if I upgrade the exciting plan, the medical plan will still follow the old coverage which still has lifetime limit and co insurance. The only way that I could get the new medical plan without co insurance and lifetim limit is to buy a new plan.

Anyone can advise me whether this is true ?  I feel that I have been paying for the last 10 year plus and it's quite a waste just throwing it away and have to start again with cool off period and the need to declare my health status again.

Thanks
*
Dear,

If you upgrade to a new medical plan from the same insurance company, there is a waiting period. You are required to sign ROMP (Replace of medical policy) form, just in case within this waiting period if anything happens to you, you will fall back to the old medical card. Before the new medical comes into action you are still be covered by your current medical card.

It is never a waste as your old policy has covered you for 10 years.

Hi

i am curios whether can i claim my personnel insurance and company provided insurance at a same time?

for example; lets say if someone involved in an accident and hospitalize for a month (or so unlucky pass away), can he/she claim his/her own personnel bought insurance and company one at a same time?

Thank u.
*
Dear,

For medical claim you only receive one receipt therefore you can only claim from one insurance company. No insurance company allows photocopy receipt for claim.


Life insurance is generally all risk insurance therefore if you have two sets of life insurance policy, you are able to claim both. What insurance do you have from your "company one"? This you need to find out.
