Hi sifus,
Would appreciate kind advise on my situation
Male, 48 years old, non smoker, class 1 occupation
Current plan:
Prudential medical card participating
Board RM150
Annual limit: 50k
Lifetime limit: 1 mil
Deductible: RM300
Life: 50k
CI: 40k (early crisis defender) , 40k (late stage)
Current premium: RM290
I was offered to upgrade to no lifetime limit, annual limit of 1 mil and others remains the same with additional payment of RM110 (up to 80 years old) and another option to 70 years old at RM80.
My question is that any difference between 70 and 80 years limit besides the cost? Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
HI There,
yours plan may be is Pru Flexi Med.
1. it is advisable to upgrade to unlimited annual limit and lifetime limit which are 1 mil, 1.5 mil, and 2 mil subjected to your health condition is good.
2. Second option, you can add a 2nd medical card with 20,000 deductible while remain the same Pru Flexi Med.
There are some difference and no difference between 70 yrs old and 80 yrs old.
1. the similiarity is : both medical insurance charges at the age of 70 and 80 is same.
2. the difference : the premium for 80 years old might be a few ringgit higher compare with 70 yrs. so, it gathers more saving.
however, both of these two points on above I advice to opt for 80 yrs old because the cash value at 80yrs old is much more higher than 70 yrs old. hence, it will extend the medical card period until age 80 yrs old.
