Can any one provide the detail benefits of Great Eastern medical card that covers up to 100 years old ?
*
Great Eastern medical card up to 100 years old in fact works this way

Example you have a life coverage RM100,000

Medical Card coverage exp RM 50,000 per annum
Medical Card coverage exp RM 150,000 per life

When you are over 70 years old, any medical claim will be deducted from the
life coverage of RM100,000 instead of the Medical Card coverage.

Correct me if i'm wrong

Hi,

Yes I currently allocate nearly 40% of my income as my savings as I don't have any other commitment yet. So do you think if its ok for me to use 10% of my income for insurance?

Thanks.

10% is alright, for a insurans coverage of RM150-200 i think you can get urself a very good deal
at least you secure urself if something happens thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Are there any insurance package that can cover someone who becomes paralyzed/unable to work after an accident?

I have talked to a couple of insurance agent, but none is able to give me a good answer on this. Most insurance covers only a loss of something such as limbs, fingers, leg, 32 illnesses but what about a vegetative state?

One insurance agent even told me that me that since someone in a vegetative state does not lose anything, they wont get anything.
*
If you bought 36 illness or basic life policy, it will pay out the full amount coverage when vegetative happens.
Or mayb crisis cover income.

For my opinion, a fresh grad at the moment , all you need is a good coverage for Medical Card + PA + and 36 Illness (about 30K)
+ some raiders to covor the core insurans. The rest coverage you can upgrade eventually later when you have more commitment in the near future.

Please contact me if you need more details . . .
hope i'll be able to help you out

actually investment link will give you a good return over a long period of time, 15-20years for example.

basically the housing insurans you bought should be some sort of
MRTA . . . with some upgrade

you can get urself a good ILP with coverage on medical card (term)
+ saving & some riders,
the rest you should be fine

*But if anythings happen to me,can I claim form my Mortgage Insurance and ILP that I going to buy?
the answer is YES . . .

hello all, i'm a tertiary student, 22/male. I have few question regarding life insurance....I hope you guys can help me out... thank you...

i'm currently holding a ING policy. it's a purely medical plan/medical card (a life insurance with BSA of 5k and medical plan rider, IMP 3) with annual limit of RM110k. My current premium is about RM 700 p/a

i'm planning to get a 3D protection(Death, TPD, CI) as well. My budget is around RM 800 p/a.

1. Wat do you think about my current medical card? Is too much to pay RM700 p/a for a medical card?

2. Issit advisable/preferable that I upgrade my current ING policy or should I buy a seperate policy? I'm currently eyeing for GE's Supreme Living Care.

3. What is the protection that i can get from RM 800 p/a?

4. I've gotten a policy quotation (Supreme Living Care, traditional 3D policy) from my friend, a GE agent. With RM 1500 p/a, i'm offered BSA of RM55k, with cash bonus. The BSA is to increase every year. BSAs at every 10 policy years are 77k, 99k, 110k, 110k, 110k, 82.5k.

What do you guys think about this. At RM1500 p/a the BSA is Rm55k... is that too little? At RM800 p/a the BSA surely will be way lower.

5. In general... are policies upgradable? I plan to increase my life insurance protection once i've started working.

thank you....
*
I'll suggest you go for a Traditional Life/Universal Life or ILP & include your medical card together in a plan

1st. I believe ur stand alone medical card from ING is a "revewal basis" card which term medical card is alwaz better if you can afford it
2nd. ILP or Traditional Life is better as you are young now & can log in with cheaper premiuim with returns over the years
3rd. Yes most of the policy are upgrade able but premiuim paid also upgrade accordingly doh.gif Taking into consideration of ur age & just about to graduate, i think you dont need that much of life coverage atm . . . . get a better medical plan for urself & a Personal Accident policy 1st

There is no universally correct policy, the right policy can be described as one that will provide you with adequate financial protection and is affordable.

Life insurance should be bought based on meeting your insurance needs. Few people can afford to buy all the insurance they desire immediately. Those who afford to buy all the insurance in fact does not need an insurance at all. It is therefore necessary to decide which insurance needs are of higher priority.

Im wondering, what differenciate life and personal insurance?

Do life insurance covers medial cost for diseases or just pay you when you die naturally/disease? Personal insurance only pay for medical cost if you die or get injured issit?
*
it should be personal life insurance for an individual
which covor for death & permenant disability . . . . . . .
many times of product in the market now, such as the Investment-Link/ whole life/ endowment/ universal life & etc
get the 1 that is more suitable to you

or group term life which covors a group of people for death & permenant disability
which usually bought from a company or organization

whereby the rest is just a raider to attach along with ur policy such as the medical card, pa, 36 crictical illness & etc
of couse you can buy each of the raiders as a stand alone policy but it's not adviceable nod.gif

There are 4 major elements in an insurance policy . . .

1) Life insurance
2) Crictical Illness insurance
3) Personal Accident
4) Medical insurance ( medical card )

I was told by my agent that my insurance (prulink5) have a annual contribution cap of 5k, which means i can only contribute up to 5k per annum. And if i want to have bigger coverage beyond that, I need to purchase different policies. Can anyone verify this?
*
Yes. Prulink 5th series have a max 5k cap.
Well if you are loooking for bigger life insurance. . . its better you purchase a different policy.
Its because if you endorse under your previous policy your payor benefit rider will increase as well.
Pruvalue plus is a better choise for big sum asured. Need to know more, you may pm me.

Huh? Why an investment linked need to have a 5k cap?

Then let say initially i have medical plan in it, i remove it and since medical plan is usually more expensive than other riders, can i upgrade let say the CI or Life coverage up to the 5k gap?

Example,

I have medical plan and my life coverage= 300k, CI=300k, PA=500k with waiver. Premium=5k

Now since i have detach the medical plan, can i upgrade my life coverage to 800k, CI=500k, PA=500k with waiver? with similar premium of 5k?
*
the answer is posible ... but any sum assured above RM500k will require a medical examination from panel clinic thumbup.gif

1)My personal point of view a medical card is more important as medical inflation is getting higher & higher each day.
For example i have a customer's son is infected by virus infection and cost him about RM70,000 in total bill for 22days treatment.
Pru medical card is the most accepted in the market . . . we covors about 40% of total individual medical card sold in Malaysia

2)If you are looking for big coverage for PA there is alwaz other alternative or stand alone plan which is much cheaper thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Can we make it clear wether a person can buy a prulink of max 5k, OR the agent can only take a full commission based on 5k? Any amount other than that, shall be regarded as investment preium I.e agent commission shall be much less.

This happens to Allianz's ILP 2 yes ago, until they lift up the 5k agent commission gap. I have seen Allianz ILP costing RM 200k per annum.
*
In ILP it's usually separated into 2 accounts.

1* is the protection accounts(life,36Illnesses & medical rider) which have the 5K cap . . . . well new ILP policy like the PRULINK1
have replace the 5th & 6th series, so should not be a problem now for big sum insured
2* investment account which normally dont have any maximum cap & agent commission is only 3% from the total investment

QUOTE(fireZzkf @ May 14 2011, 01:20 PM)
hmm, medical examination or not is not important..as long as can get higher coverage with the same policy. Why not optimize it?
I think before you make the statements that Pru covers 40% of total individual medical card, is it better to show valid statements from the authority, right?

Ok, so let say few years ago, i get Pru(old version of medical rider) and now, i wan to get a new Pru(latest version of medical rider). Can i simply substitute it in the same plan?

If yes, then it is good.. my concern is not important.

If No, this is what i am concerned about. Then, I will be required to take out the rider from old plan and i get a new medical rider in new plan. If i put higher coverage in new plan, the fund allocation is actually lesser than the old plan. So, it will not MAX my coverage and it is NOT economical. Agree?
*
Very simple . . . you can make an endorsement to your older policy to upgrade your medical rider
Your agent should be able to tell you the additional premium required thumbup.gif

The allocation part will not effect your existing policy rclxm9.gif
