hi all, what is the most important criteria I should look into when I want to buy a medical insurance? is it always necessary to buy the "medical card" one?
i go through some of the brochure, it seem most plan are more or less the same within the same price range, which i think is logical, thus whichever insurance company we choose would most likely a personal preference rather than a matter of good or bad, is my conclusion reasonable? |

QUOTE(lifebalance @ Mar 27 2019, 04:58 PM) critical illness can understand, is life insurance a necessary when buying medical insurance?i guess professional required to find out which one suit us best, to make my point clear, I believe in a competitive market, most product tend to offer more or less the same value, or else the best one would conquer the market. |

QUOTE(lifebalance @ Apr 1 2019, 05:45 PM) haha the agent just not happy you didn't sign up a bigger plan with him/her. i thot insurance return are supposed to be slightly higher than fd? but is it the case in the last 10 to 20 years?But ya the truth is, you just top up the difference in the near future if not enough money. As I said to many ppl who has better yield of investment return out there, if got money, just park into those investment vehicle, however insurance plan nowadays are engineered in such a way that you will still get some sort of cash value after paying x amount of years, I won't say investing into insurance will make you rich, but it's just a financial vehicle to conserve your money in. If you're the type of person that can't stand to see money laying around in low yielding / safe financial vehicle like FD, then investing into insurance is definitely not for you. However if you're looking into insurance as a way to conserve your wealth, then it's a viable option. |

QUOTE(Ewa Wa @ Apr 6 2019, 08:49 PM) Recently I have helped 1 customer reviewing on this policy which bought ard ur time back in 2007. After reviewing, the medical under this IL-Health Protector was belong to 1st Gen medical plan where the annual limit is ard RM50k and lifetime limit 200k. And now company announced to increase price for this medical card. may I know why the co want to increase price knowing that the benefit is much less compare to later gen? what is their justification?So instead to increase Rm40 and maintain at this 1st Gen medical card, I’m helping her to upgrade the medical card to 3rd gen medical card where 1mil annual limit and lifetime unlimited on the existing policy. Premium from Rm150 to Rm200+ Do check out with ur current servicing agent. |
