my bmi currently is 32. i undergo a lipoma removal surgery last year. so, not sure if its still covered in future. therefore, i might need to maintain current policy.
currently have quite extensive insurance coverage from my company and also my wife company so im not going to use my personal insurance at least until im 60 perhaps. therefore ncd 20% from Zurich is quite appealing.
but i have no decision yet. need to discuss with my wife first. tq guys for your input. cheers.
if you have surgical history, yea you have to maintain the current policy. unless the new medical insurance application got no exclusion on that (depends on company's underwriting). perhaps in your situation, just apply something and see how the underwriting goes.

I'm 24 yo and currently looking around on which is plan is best for me.
Side note: I do have a life insurance with Great Eastern though I'm not entirely sure about the plan since my parents is paying for it.
there is only the AIA Vitality program that rewards healthy individual. By sitting down with an agent and discuss things out then you will actually know what you want in a plan that benefits you. Also check out what your parents is paying for you then from there you work out something.

Looking into the following:
1) Increasing life coverage for spouse RM500k
- Was quoted PRUwealth RM250/month
2) Increasing life coverage for self RM500k
- Was quoted PRUwealth RM177/month
3) Medical card for child
- Was quoted RM180 for R&B 200
Reason:
Life - The surviving parent / guardian has income to provide for the family
Child's medical card - The surviving parent / guardian does not need to worry about medical expenses for the child
Obviously budget is a constraint here. I've read that insurance premiums should not exceed 10% of your monthly income, otherwise it's over insuring In this case, it will exceed slightly.
We did consider term life insurance but the monthly premium is about the same (RM20-RM30 difference/ month assuming if term is for 30 years)
Am I overpaying / over insuring in the first place?
How do you balance / prioritize or adjust if you were me?
what is your age and occupation? cz from what you and your spouse are paying for, the benefit seems little (the Life 10k). i might be wrong though since I duno your age/occupation/smoker,non smoker.
budget constraint based on the 10% monthly income? from my point of view, its difficult to judge whether are you overpaying/over insuring. I believe by discussing this with your agent before that, you will be clear of what you want out of the insurance plan.
if i were you, perhaps i will find out with the same premium amount you are paying right now, can you get better benefits from other insurance companies (since budget is a constraint here). if it is more or less the same, then top up a comfortable amount of premium and check again whether the new benefits added is what you expected or not.
