Hi all sifus,

Anyone experienced their medical card premium increased?

Am using Great Eastern, today I received an email that my premium will be increased.

However, I have 2 options: either to Accept or Reject the increment.

My question is, if I choose to reject the increment, will it affect my coverage in the future?

Thanks!

Doesn't the letter state the impact of rejecting?

Obviously, it will reduce your coverage lah, though it depends on how they do it. Otherwise, how to maintain profit margin?

I already have medical card coverage.

The increment actually not to say a lot, RM 40.

But, I just want to understand the effect on my policy if I reject the increment.

Hawkers also didn't decrease their food prices in this difficult time. U also no complaint ! Private hospitals also didn't lower their charges in this critical time what ....did u go make complaints?

Why cant i make a complain? Who are you try to stop me from complaining? Are you an agent or some one related to insurance company? Big corporation should have some social responsibilty in this critical time. The banks are lowering their interest and giving moratorioum. What is insurance company doing for their insurer? Lowering premium? How can you compare hawker with those big insurance company? Futhermore, im not asking them to lower the the premium but not increase in this pandemic time. Hawker n hospital at least didnt increas the price.

Its very obvious you are some one related to insurance company. You are so agitated when majorities would disapprove premium increase at this time. Only your opinion is sensible and other are not. we are bring up this issue in this forum but you are starting to be offensive to me. The statement ' if you dont have any policies then dont make a fuss la' , what makes you utter this kind of statement? If im not a cook i cant complain about their disk/cooking. nonsense!!

insurance and takaful are practically risk free biz..


When good times stock performance uptrend fewer claims = profit high..

During bad times ie. pandemic season, stock performance downtrend, claim high.. still profitable coz subscriber need to pay more..

I think insurance providers should form a cartel and force private hospitals to lower their fee or charge unnecessary fees. I think it is crazy that you charged thousands for normal fever. No need for certain procedures but force them to maximise profit like drip, specialist visits etc (mind you per visit can be hundreds in cost). And the rooms can cost you RM3-400 which can easily get you a hotel room.

I experienced this myslef when i got a dengue. I was almost recovered when the xxx hospital admitted me (coz previously no viral load was detected). They wanted to admit me for a week, but I insisted to stay overnight only. I was also paid nightly rate for my stay by my insurance provider. Upon discharge, i only got panadol and antihistime which was way expensive than outside. A bit unethical, i’d say.

Insurance providers much prefer hospital to charge high medical fees, that way more people will buy insurance because they know they can't afford the bills.

That is a very misleading general statement. There are so many different insurance products for different scenarios.

I know of a professional who die in his early mid 30s. Luckily he have life insurance and the insurance money paid off his house mortgage so his family have a roof over their head.

I also know of a friend whose warehouse got burnt down. Insurance paid 70%. Better than nothing.

If you start thinking about it, health insurance isn't really needed apart from OUTLIERS. By outliers, I mean say 10% of the population. These people could suffer some strange disease etc, so it's actually beneficial for them.

For the rest of the 90% of the population, there's no difference between health insurance and you saving up and investing your money for the day you actually need it, when you go to the hospital.

I think Health Insurance was probably good in the past before these insurance companies got too profit orientated. Right now, I'm sure an average person would be very confused as to what exactly is the product they're buying.

Between the disclaimers, coverage, exclusion clauses etc... it'll probably take a lawyer, doctor and insurance expert to actually understand the product being sold.

Besides, if you notice, once you're past 60 or 70s, the health insurance get so prohibitive, you're betting off saving the money to pay the hospital on your own.
