Looks like your current medical card quite enough for you already. Are you looking for an additional top up ? e.g. outpatient benefits?
If you wish to know more about Prudential product, feel free to PM me your contact.
oh no, these are my NEW needs. I got quotes from Prudential. The price is almost double. And I am guessing what I can get back is ease of understanding ie. they have the least rules or limits, as if they will try their best to pay 'all' claims.

mtsen,
didnt know you are looking too

i think before anyone can offer anything we should know what you expect from the package, how long you want to get insurance, what are your special requirements and last but not least how much do you want / can you spend on the premium. not just today but when you are 70 or 80 or 90 even.
I wasn't but after reading all your posts, now I am topping up too

I may just want to cover myself up to 55 or 60.

hmmm,
i always try to eliminate the agent and reduce my premium through direct insurance. the savings are massive and claiming is not terribly complicated. also some of the extras offered are really attractive

i find agents tend to sell you too much insurance, wrong insurance which is more profitable to them, are biased to the companies they represent and in general can give little actual advice. at least i have yet to meet an agent that gives impartial advice.
i usually 'try' to eliminate agent too, but I may need to give exception in medical plans, I don't know yet ... still analyzing ...

Yeah, too many agents out there who don't even know what they are selling. They only know a few products of their company, and pushing products instead of getting to know the prospects needs.
like wise, more buyers do not know what they are buying

Vitorbarbosa,
- personally i believe the comission is way to high. a recurring comission of 15% of my premium or more is just disproportionate to the work done. a comission of 10% might be acceptable if you have a good agent but more? my share my car insurance comission, health insurance comission and i enjoy full agent discounts on houseowner, householder, PA (25%! - mind you),
I have been paying 40% commissions to agents in my traditional policies half of my life, todays' 15% - 25% seems like a good rate or good trend to me

if the agent does nothing, then its too high. but if the agent pamper me well, its ok to pay
