My insurance company (Greet Eatson) asked me to increase my premium and showed me a table of increases in medical charges of 35%!!! Why is this allowed at the first place? The insurance company reserves the right to price hike up to 50% every year according to the contract. What should I do? Just be slaughtered by capitalist?

It’s written in your policy book that the insurance company has the right to make adjustment to the insurance charges from time to time.

By accepting the policy from the insurance company, you are deemed to agree to their terms and conditions

hi cy91, basically cost of insurance for medical cards are not guaranteed from the start. so yea technically speaking, insurance companies got the right to hike the price. of course when it comes to % of increase, they don't simply increase a lot actually. if not mistaken it is stated in the letter of notification when was their last cost adjustment. also with the medical inflation hike of more than 10% p.a., they have to adjust the medical card insurance charges. there is a news regarding this as well, you can read more to understand.

Medical insurance premiums rising at an unsustainable rate
don't say yourself stupid. you did nothing wrong. Agent should disclose all this info to you. at least you know now and you can review and make better decision wink.gif trust me you didn't make a wrong decision back then.

Means technically they can increase the price 50% a year and I can't do anything about it? cry.gif
