Hi, any prudential agent here?
I got a quotation from an prudential agent about PRUvalue med just now.
I am thinking to get this plan for my father (49 yo/smoker/occupation class 3) with 20k deductible, board rate 100.
Life insurance: 20k (I don't need this, but the agent says must buy).
Premium: RM 160
According to the calculation given by the agent the plan can sustain until 76 yo, but i can top up if i want to extend the coverage.
Questions:
1. Is it correct that i must buy the life insurance to buy PRUvalue? I don't need this.
2. One thing i noticed is that the agent can adjust the premium, the only thing changed is how long the plan can last. Does it mean that i can pay a minimum amount initially, and top up accordingly as i got more money in the future?
3. Since i am buying the plan for my father, in which i will be the one paying. Am i eligible for tax relief?
1. This is an investment link policy thus there must be some life insurance attachment to it, if you’re solely looking into medical coverage alone then get a standalone medical card which is cheaper.
2. Yes you’re right, pay less now and top up later or pay more now and chances to require top up in the future is lesser.
3. You may need to check with LHDN on this matter.
