Hi agents, is it true that upon changing of a new medical rider plan attached to my ILP, my plan is considered a restart? Which means I am subjected to more scrutinized investigation for 2 years upon starting of the policy?

And also if let's say I just want to upgrade my room and board from RM200 to RM300, am i subjected to this 2 years period also?

Thanks. So this only happens when it's a brand new policy purchase? an upgrade or medical rider change is not?
my agent asked me to get a new plan and cancel my old card after 2 years. Which means I will be holding 2 medical cards to co-exist during this period. (actually this is GE SMX to SMM rider plan change)

I also quote another reply from here regarding the 2 year period

There are no specific time frame I heard some after 20 years still encountered claim declined.

Any claim raised within 2 years of policy inforced, company will have a very detailed investigation compare those after 2 years but again don't try to hide any information and breach the non disclosure.

I have one customer has forgotten about a Brain MRI he did 5 years ago and policy has been inforced for 3 years. So I have to resubmit this non disclosure information in and let the policy re-underwrite. Although with lots of hassle by running in out hospital to get doctor report and finally the same policy was imposed exclusion. So at least death happen claim still payout. Peace of mind ah..  innocent.gif

Yes, only when you start a new policy.

hmm means my agent is only thinking of their self benefit (to buy 2nd plan from them) and giving me wrong info saying that i will be at higher risk of rejection if i claim in this 2 years time. Glad i asked here first.

If u are talking about GE riders from SMX to SMM from ur existing SPE2 is a conversion. You call in to this claim department 1300130088 to enquiry more.

My colleague has encountered this claim situation b4. After upgrading for 4 months in the same policy, kena cancer. GL rejected and required to do reimbursement on the old card SMX. So what the agent said not all wrong but there is a risk to bear. actually SMX is good enough with 1mil annual limit. Why not maintain it? Unless u wish to go for 3mil annually?

Thanks for ur reply. My SMX 200 plan is only having 132k annual limit. But why is ur colleague GL rejected? And ur colleague is holding the old card as her co-exist card, therefore is able to fall back on it?

Then why not add in SE so ur annual limit 1.32mil. Yes fall back to old card due to waiting period. No didn't hold 2 cards, covert the SMX to SMM in the existing SPE2 like what u are doing now. Some how still have this waiting period involved especially for chronic illness like cancer, kidney failure which take longer time to develop and not happen in these 4 months. Which u would like to take note on.

Call the number I have given you just now, they can explain better. Cross finger these 4 months u r healthy so ur conversion is successful. To be frank holding 2 cards not economically la if u r healthy now.

that's good also, SMM+SMMP is about 14% higher cost than SMX+SE, with almost similar benefits.

QUOTE(lifebalance @ Oct 7 2021, 02:38 PM)
Because you'll be subjected to the same waiting period of 120 days for the new upgrade. If any claim arises during the waiting period, it will fall back to your previous old plan benefits.

Just declare accordingly and provide any reports to show if required.

if i did claim in the 120 days waiting period, what will happen to the new plan which i purchased? will be rejected/put this particular illness under exclusion list?

Is it possible to change the owner and name of the policy for insurance?
A relative bought the policy under his name and the Life Assured is put under his daughter's name 20 years ago.

But for the past few years the daughter has been paying it and so would like to change the policy name under hers, so that she can manage it herself (e.g. statement sent to her email/contact number under hers).

Is this possible? Or no other way and have to surrender the policy?
