2. high fever , suspected dengue , refer hospital for observation , after one day discharge after fever subside ... not dengue

Thanks in advance.

Investment linked package mine i pay RM300 monthy

Obviously you can't expect much since is only like RM100 a month but you can still withdraw. Not sure if your agent told you

At least 10 years to withdraw to see fruitful $. At least few k

Investment linked plan means you are investing. Therefore got untung.

I paid rm200 monthly for 20 years for ILP... So total put in rm48k.. as of now surrender value is only rm24k or so...

Just my personal experience... never claimed anything

AXA eMedic.
Axa eMedic

Costs me RM348/month for family of 4..

Package includes Rm100,000/year hospitalisation limit for each individual.

Unlimited lifetime coverage.

Auto renewal.

Cashless admission. Axa pays everything if you are hospitalised.

RM250/day room-rates. Means I can afford a single suite at all the private hospitals.

Same list of health coverage as AIA/Prudential. Cancer, stroke, heart attacks, hospitalisation, etc..

overseas Brunei, & SG temporary travel coverage. Includes repatriation costs and overseas ambulance coverage.

etc.

Dont think twice.. just sign up and cancel all of your other plans..even those ILP.. you will be saving alot of $$$$$ over the long run.. this is a no brainer for me really..
Individual coverage, 200k rm/year, unlimited lifetime limit, auto renewal.. at only rm100/month..

You need to know that the purpose of insurance mainly is for protection. The idea of getting returns on investment linked products is a wrong concept to begin with.

Also, eventually all cash value in ILP will become zero due to increasing insurance charges. How fast it goes to zero depends on the sustainability of the policy which is designed by your agent.

As for your case on why the cash value is not up to par, I suspect that 1) your agent designed a maximum protection policy for you, hence a lower portion for investment, 2) the fund performance of the insurance company is not doing well, 3) sustainability is too low, your premium of RM200 is not sufficient to cover the insurance charges, hence the cash in your ILP is used to cover the remaining cost.
Yes just sharing one experience .. see how others view this .. I don't know and as such am not in a position to say it's good or bad.. if I can remember a conversation 20 years ago, it's something like.. after 20-30 years the cash value is enough to stop paying premium and stay covered until I die... Something like that.. I can't imagine continue paying such sums after I retire...

Not necessarily same rate. Standalone medical card will increase price every 5 years.

Yeah I think that's the scary part about medical cards, they increase exponentially.. until they are freaking expensive like when you're 60-80, and then they no longer cover you at a certain point (is it medical coverage until 99 years old now?)

How much is a medical card for someone 70 years old?

No plan can change limit. Changes limit only can be done with new policy with new price (35year age price)

Not really true. I changed mine after many years. Increased coverage amount, increased premium on existing policy.
