Hi Sifus,
Just want to clarify on the premium payment logic for this scenario.
Lets give the monthly premium as 100 and no additional increase when switching
Ali
- has existing medical plan (A) and want to switch to medical plan (B)
- He already paid 100 premium due for September month for A, and he switch to B on September as well
- To enforce B, upfront 2 months payment needed, hence September and October month cleared, and next due on November and December
- So for the year 2023, Ali will have paid 500 (5 months) of premium
Muthu
- has existing medical plan (A) and want to switch to medical plan (B)
- He already paid 100 premium due for September month for A, but he switch to B on
October instead- To enforce B, upfront 2 months payment needed, hence October and November month cleared, and next due on December
- So for the year 2023, Muthu will have paid 400 (4 months) of premium
With the above scenario, why would one switch on September when they can switch on October, where they will pay lesser total premium in year 2023.
Assuming we don't talk about the extra coverage by medical plan B, and medical plan A still covers the overall essential.
So isn't Ali paying "double" for essentially being covered the same for September month?
Appreciate your advise thanks !
