After my mum's Prudential ILP, now my turn to receive the same news

4.5% increase bangwall.gif ranting.gif

If I wanted to convert to deductible to lower the premium. Do I have to declare if I have any pre-existing medical condition again?

Example, say I bought this in 2007 and I have appendix removal operation in 2011?

When you're adding/removing benefits from your policy, the insurance company will have a set of questionnaire for you to answer. Just answer accordingly.

Applied insurance and got cancelled halfway. Did every test but when reach to the point where the doctor need to give their report (and the doctor refuse because reason might affect my insurance etc...) ...

I am left with disappointment. I am left uninsured. need advise on what i should do next

Interesting how the Doctor can refuse to produce a report.

Even if the report disqualifies you from getting insurance, wouldn't you want a copy of it for your own keeping?

Is there any action plan proposed by the Doctor that you need to take in order to have a better report in the future and only applying for insurance then? If that's even possible.

Which means if you upgrade the plan to a diff room and board or co insurance option in the future, this additional annual limit will cease.

A comparable plan would he Allianz Medisafe Infinite with a longer pre and post hospitalization benefit with similar NCD and co insurance option available.
*
You mean Allianz MediSafe Infinite+

Allianz MediSafe Infinite is no longer available and does not provide the benefits you mentioned.

Hi everyone,

Appreciate any advice for my situation, about a week or 2 ago i got a mail regarding the revise of annual premium. The policy plan that I'm using is PowerLink (since 2013). So right now, im just wondering if i should upgrade my current policy (upgrading in terms of coverage as well as critical illnesses, coverage maybe to 80 instead) or to get a new policy.

Spoke to my insurance agent the other day, he suggested to buy a new policy which is Medisafe Infinite+. The only thing that is preventing me from getting it right away is, i was told to maintained the Powerlink plan for a year and at the same time having the Medisafe policy, which i was pretty reluctant as i'll be having 3 insurance including the company'.So spoke to the Allianz customer service, was advice to instead upgrade the plan and my agent did not mentioned anything about upgrading.

Current policy as below:
Overall lifetime limit - 850,000
Insured Amount - 90,000
Maturity: 2088 (100 years)
Premium:1,920.00

MediSafe:
Overall Annual 1.5M
Lifetime: No Limit
Premium: 3,000.00

again any advice are much appreciated and also if any information needed that might help with the situation le me know, thanks all smile.gif

Upgrade within same plan.

Hi all sifus, this is another case whereby the insurance policy is terminated because of non disclosure. But there is something weird in this case, the insurance company paid for the first medical bill (RM 1million ++) but refused to pay for the subsequent bill when the patient is admitted to hospital again. The reason of rejecting the claim is non-disclosure of stroke which happened 20 years ago. If the insurance company wan to terminate the policy because of non-disclosure, why they still pay for the first bill?

Better wait for insurance company feedback.

It is prudent to also have an emergency fund set aside to complement your medical card.

hi guys
i helped my dad submit for a new insurance.
insurance compony requested a blood test report and he had some "H" in lipid profile tests. Currently not under any medication though.
total cholesterol : 5.8 (<5.2)
Non HDL
LDL

With that underwriter has decided an excursion clause on "hyperlipidemia and its related complication". I think the scope is too big, would like to get some advice on what I should be expecting with this excursion ? Any chance to get rid of this in the future ? Thanks a lot.

Have your agent to consulate with the insurance company underwriting team as they will be the one best suited to answer you.

It is your right to appeal.

just to get savings, not really focusing much on the coverage.

If your purpose is solely for saving you can consider the above.

Thanks. Yes, it is the Policy Sustainability. Can I just ignore it and hope the market will improve and so does the insurance sustainability?
*
You are paying for coverage. In the event that you require the use of the medical card as the TnC of your policy.

You can ignore the sustainability and hope that the market improves however you should also take into account of the increase of costs (if any) that is current factored into the policy sustainability statement provided.

Hi sifu all, I need some advice. I plan to get a life insurance for 500k to cover for my housing loan MRTA. One AIA has quote me to pay around 492+ for an investment link life insurance for 20 years. It is worth it for me paying for 20 years? 500 per month for 20 years.. the agent told me that i can take out the money anytime if i need it.. not sure how true it is. Mind to advice. Serious yea thanks

Typically, for life insurance I'd reduce the cash value to as low as possible. Indirectly meaning my premium will be lower.

Hi mind to explain more.. sorry i dont understand

if it's an ILP then the premium will be split into 2 portion. 1 portion will be used to pay the cost of insurance and the second portion will be invested to ensure your policy is able to sustain for X number of years.

So for example: Let's say RM100/month you can cover RM500k for 20 years, but instead agent quote you RM200/month for the same coverage. In the second scenario, you will have more money in your cash value account. If I were you, I'd go for RM100/month for RM500k for 20 years.

So request for the Sales Illustration from the agent and understand actually where your money is going to. Then you can decide how to proceed from there.

Best,
Jiansheng

Interesting... do share with us how she plans to circumvent the "Replace of policy" since she is asking you to surrender your old plan.

Hi all,

I'm 40 for next bday, BMI 32, taking high blood pressure and cholesterol medicine. 

Current with AIA ILP with 90K annual, life time unlimited. Thinking to increase my annual limit cover by apply for Deductible medical card.

Would like to have some advices from all the SIFU here.

Thanks.

1) Check whether it's better to upgrade your existing plan or to actually get a deductible plan separately;

2) If you are getting a deductible plan separately, understand how you will be making the claims in an event of a claim; and

3) Understand how the newly implemented guidelines by BNM this week affects your new policy

Nonsense. Insurance agent nothing more than car sales man or property house agents..

Once the technology is here be prepared to lose your job, although highly unlikely on the medium term (5-10 years).

As long as there's an intermediary in the insurance value chain, insurance will be expensive. If I eliminate the agent as part of the value chain, I believe my premium should reduce by 10-20%.

And about needing help...if I kena accident teruk most likely I won't call agent first, I will call ambulance, then go hospital the cashless admission can help. Not much paperwork needed.

And call the careline insurance to claim, he/she can work virtually

What's different between calling insurance careline and agent? Both are the same people anyway. .
