need feedback on my insurance policies portfolio:

1. AIA Assurance 1
Life insured: 200k, expiring age 100
TPD: 210k, expiring age 60
CI: 150k, expiring age 100
Premium waiver

2. AIA Assurance 2
Life insured: 100k, expiring age 100
TPD: 100k, expiring age 60
CI: 50k, expiring age 100
Medical card: 90k annual, lifetime 300k, room & board 150 expiring age 70 (with co-insurance but cant recall how much already, maybe 10-15k)
Premium waiver

3. Allianz PowerLink
Life insured: 100k, expiring age 100
TPD: 100k, expiring age 65
Medical card: 120k annual, lifetime 1.2m, room & board 200 expiring age 100
Premium waiver

4. Tokio Marine Medic Plus
Medical card: 150k annual, room & board 500 (deductible 10k per disability)

Thinking of optimizing both AIA policies but what would be a better option with the newer policies or just maintain them? To me, the more important is medical card and CI coverage.

Appreciate views from all. Thanks.

While i agree medical coverage is very important, you might want to consolidate your medical coverage somewhat in one policy instead of spread across 3 plans unless there's more unseen reason.

Having higher coverage from 1 company should be cheaper than having 3 lower coverage from 3 different companies.

Hi sifu, really new to this so sorry if I sound very stupid (because I am lol)

I'm 24 and wish to buy a medical insurance very soon. I have a few concerns that I would like to be cleared:

1. Which company in the big three (Great Eastern, AIA, Prudential) or any other companies has the easiest claim policy and no drama and no fuss on unable to claim stuff like that. Plus which has also the most hospitals that accept their medical card. Assuming all the other confounding variables that may affect this are standardised/ignored. (example of confounding variables: type of plan i might get, cheap or expensive plan)

2. Do you think if it is worth it to include "critical illness" and "waiver of premium" in the plan? And if I already have the "critical illness" plan should I still get a life insurance?

3. Should I do a full body checkup before I sign up for a medical insurance plan? Or should I not leave any record in any hospitals so that the company won't be able to dig them up  brows.gif

Thank you sifus. I'll appreciate any help
*
2) is largely depending on your budget and circumstances as well. If your budget can only buy A+B, no point asking worth to buy A + B + C + D.

Or if you have family of heart disease you might think ci very important. Or if you have dependent and you are sole breadwinner, than life insurance become very important also.

3) actually you 24 only, why so scared. Haha.... actually just apply the insurance like normal and tell the truth.

If you only want from a specific company, you can drop your contact at their website. I'm sure they very fast call you and assign you agent.

do Allianz medi infinite+ cover male-related cancers? saw many insurance exclude this
*
Actually cancers not excluded. Of course unless you kena cancer before you buy, then confirm cant even buy. But if you buy when healthy wont exclude cancer.

Just that if treatment like chemo, of course do outpatient at outpatient punya cost la.

Hi. Can someone advice me on which medical insurance fits my criteria. Few things that Im looking for

No deductible charges. Insurance pay for all.
Cashless admission. If hospital itself require deposit, its okey.

Some of the insurance I found fit my match are :
1) Allianz - MediSafe Infinite+
2) Tokio Marine - Premier Medic Partner
However I dont know how good are their customer service. Open to any other suggestion / insurance as well.I also have a company medical insurance with limit up to 80k.
*
I would recommend not to limit your option by must only buy those without deductible.

Low amount of deductible of rm300 can save you more money on the insurance portion. Even if low amount deductible, it's still cashless.

Hi sifus, can I ask how much it would cost roughly to get term life insurance for a person from age 45-70/75/80? Am curious to know the total damage per year from start to end...

Annually renewable. Only for death and TPD. Sum assured 500k.

Thanks in advance. Can reply here or PM also. TQVM!

Btw, can try online, get some quote. Lol. Etiqa was the cheapest i found.

hi all sifu
wanted to get life insurans instead of mrta. dont want all medical bla bla bla benefit.. just want pure life insurans
age:41
amount 500k

now what i am confuse.. some life insurans when die only get back money.
some life insurans will have money back when maturity.

been looking for etiqa one but dont know how to differentiate which is which..
*
when not stated, means wont get back anything upon maturity. if you look at those purchasable online, likely only get something when die.

This will be a simple way for me to explain how to differentiate.

you age 41, etiqa should be available for purchase. if Male, mahal sikit lo.

Thanks... mine is monthly payment

they also calculate based on 100 years, previously was 80 years... 100 years is better option to go?
*
it really depends on how long you want your policy to last ("expected to last" will be more accurate). Some people probably think up to age 80 is enough. some will think, up to 100 is more comfortable.

Anyway, it's also just an estimate by the insurance company. but you might want to consider paying abit more, if not the full amount of what they suggest.

not sure the age of the person for the screenshot you shown but 11 years does seem abit on the "too soon" side though.

$20K is exactly my deductible for my children's & my medical insurance with Pru. For my age 49, i'm paying $2.6k pa, my 15yo girl's $1.27K pa & my boy's $1.88K pa

just sharing to give U an idea of cost

Additional post/edit: Wow - some forumers either parkinson's disease coz accidentally clicked REPORT POST twice OR some agents trying to be funny. I'm a buyer, not even in the insurance industry, baka...

I hope your girls and boys plan are not just purely medical. Else 1.2k and 1.9k is very expensive for 20k deductible.

Seeking opinion on the need for early CI given the Premium is much higher than normal CI.

How often in real life that claims come from diseases apart from the main 36 diseases?
*
So the early CI, i dont have yet but will buy soon. I currently have the 36CI bought when i was fresh grad. The thing about the early CI is not the number of disease but it covers the less severe condition.

Most claims come from the top 4 or 5 CI, heart, stroke, cancer actually. So the 36 itself is also over. Early CI is more for this purpose. Example if stage 0/1 cancer, it does not fulfill the 36 CI punya definition, so cant claim. But buy early CI, then can claim.

I generally will recommend friends and family to get early CI but it is more expensive, but the occurence rate is higher. Just have to budget accordingly.

I don't think your issue of understanding is on the deductible. Rather your main issue is "you want to have a claims under one roof" which means you don't want to deal with paperworks for reimbursement.

In this case, you should opt for non deductible plans.
*
My policy can be under GL even if deductible 5k 10k 15k. At least that was what i was told. Not all deductible plans have to be self pay. But i am not familiar with pruvalue med. Unless you are pru agent?

QUOTE(grace_ong @ Jul 1 2021, 07:47 PM)
Now I understand, previously I tot I only need to pay the deductible amount upon discharge, just whether can direct claim on other medical card. Rupa-rupanya have to pay the whole bill if use deductible card.
Thank you very much!

Good day everyone,

I was quoted below with monthly premium of RM317:
A-LIFE IKHTIAR FULL PAY@70 | Coverage amount:RM50K
A-PLUS DISABILITYCARE-i | Coverage amount:RM50K
A-PLUS CRITICALCARE-i | Coverage amount:RM30K
A-PLUS CONTINUATOREXTRA-i | Coverage amount:RM4K
A-PLUS TOTAL HEALTH | Coverage amount:RM1.5mil
A-PLUS MEDICARE-i | Coverage amount:RM0

Background of myself: Male, Non-Smoker, 33 y.o, IT industry
Is this a standard premium for the above coverage?
*
You need to balance between how much you need vs how much you can afford. If you worry that this sounds expensive, you can ask other agents to quote similar coverage and see what is the pros and cons. You have to be careful that if someone else say they are cheaper, are they really cheaper but actually the policy cant sustain until end of term.

You are talking about premium but are you considering if you are having enough coverage? If CI is only 30k, is that enough for you. Or death coverage 50k, is that enough? If not enough, how will you address the difference?

P&O is an established insurance company. Just very old fashion company and of course not as big as etiqa, allianz. The network should be readily available. I hope.

But i dont intend to drive the car much. Lol. So didnt think about claims la.

The rm400 is standard excess. For those P drivers or under 25 or something. Mamy company got this.

just want to ask. I am in late 30s. Want to subscribe to medical card for retirement use only as now medical being covered by company I work now. Is it possible?
*
Some companies offer medical card with high deductible up to age 55/60, then lower the deductible after that age. This would be ideal for you.

This will greatly reduce the cost of buying it now.

Hi all, just curious. Do Malaysia have a medical card for Diabetes people? I am in the late 20s and got Type II. I Googled Prudential got medical card for Diabetic people but need to be above 40 years old? Allianz also got but the minimum entry age is 30 years old too, I read at Ringgit Plus
*
Hello... i am not agent but... i want to help set your expectation... likely you cant buy any medical or Critical illness insurance.late 20s with type 2 is almost no no.

The most encouraging is allianz but there is a chance you may still not get it. I'm not familiar with allianz and how it works. Educated guess is there is likely alot of t&c as well.

As i know prudential does not have the same thing as allianz but can confirm with pru agents.
