true also la
Crictical Illness according rules of thumb

which means if you are earning 30K per annum - you will need RM120,000 CI

Previously the minimum to enter a ILP plan for Prudential is RM150/month.

Now the company has open up to RM100 a month to covor the market for those with lower income group. Basically everything is similiar, with less rider or lower sum assured.

Why do you get 2 medical card from the same company amounting to 1Mil i/o 1 medical from the same company amounting to 1 Mil?

If not mistaken now Prudential's medical card highest limit is up to 1.5 Mil.

If you take 2 different company's medical card, it is more logical. In case Insurance Company A cannot claim, then claim Insurance Company B.

Anyway, what's your room&board daily limit?
*
at the meantime i think is GE with the biggest sum assured & lifetime limit for medical plan . . .
basically no point getting 2 medical card from 2 different company ..... if you really needs to insured more why dont just upgrade ur plan
you cant claim from both cards although you have 2

When future premiums waived means PRU already paying for your premiums.
Example:
Father pay for Son's policy, premium 100/month.
Father had heart attack.
Pru will pay the premium 100/month, father do not have to pay any more. Hence considered waived.

What you're telling me if I'm not mistaken is that,
Pru will pay the premium 100/month AND another 100/month towards saving.

Do correct me if I'm wrong.
Or any other Pru agent here can clarify?
*
It's case by case . . what you are saying above are refering to "payor" in a ILP i guess

a waiver for the policy - if 36 Illness strike on the policy owner/life assured/spouse (if included) the policy will go on free for life
hence the client will still enjoy all the benefits but the cash value will not increase

a payor for the policy - if 36 Illness strike on the policy owner/life assured/spouse (if included) the policy will go on free for life
hence the client will still enjoy all the benefits & additional premium located to purchase of units monthly which paid by PRU

QUOTE(mtsen @ Mar 21 2009, 11:16 PM)
true, quite a handful ppl are burn by ILP, mostly due to their initial greed accepting high return figures during sales stage ...

i still have a strong believe in ILP product which are good to the market . . . different ppl different opinion

Here is my situation :

1) <30 years old
2)My company will provide medical benefit until my retirement for our family (56 years old)
3)Currently have no major illness
4)My worried is after retired if i still with this company i will not be cover anymore and by that time it maybe too late for me to buy medical insurance as it will not cover any illness that i already have.

My question is :
1)What i need to do?Should i buy medical insurance now?
2)If yes, what type of medical insurance should i buy?My oficcemate bought a medical insurance with Prudential with RM150+ per month.He inform me this is investment link policy.Should i follow him?I don't have a good knowledge and experience with medical insurance buy i really plan to buy one for our family but don't know what to chooose.I surf Prudential and Great Eastern benefit but there is not enough information given there.
3)Some of my friend there is a lot of hidden clause in the medical insurance policy.Is it true?For e.g. insurance company change the clause without informing us such as room eligibility, and etc...
4)Which insurance company i should choose?From the blog i heard people said that Prudential is one of the best
Appreciate any reply...Thanks....
*
1) Yes if you fell there's a need for you & your family members as you are the main person generating income for the family
Normally for this type of cases i'll advice my clients to get a Crictical Illness plan 1st & get a medical plan later when they are near to retirement

2) Hmmmm a link plan is okiz as you are still young & mayb you could get the basic such as CI/Life/Payor in the plan with RM150 a month
Medical is optional weather to include or not . . . but if include the basic coverage will not be sufficient

3)Everything is in black & white very transperant nowdays for insurance policy . . . & all client will have a 14 days free look period on the policy
If not satisfied with the term & condition, 100% money back guranteed

4)Yes we took over GE in terms of sales . . . but GE still remain the biggest in Malaysia in terms of sales force
Prudential/ING/AIA have a good reputation in claims thats from my point of view
But a responsible agent play the more important role rather than the company itself

Hi,

How many medical card can holding by every individual?

In your case you are holding 2 cards. Its there any alternative, can we choose to upgrade room and board on the exisitng medical plan? rolleyes.gif
*
having 2 med card meaning you can claim from the 2nd card if the anual limit/ lifetime limit runs out if the bill amount is too huge
of course you can upgrade ur card to a higher plan

Anyone with PruHealth?

I was at SCB and bump into a friend who was working there. She intro me a Prudential insurance agent. Im not into buying insurance for myself just yet. Its for my newborn baby.

Im quite tempted as the RM200 package covers 75k per annum with a lifetime of 750k upto 24years old. NCB at RM300 per year. It also include an investment savings of RM50 per month. The NCB will be credited into the investment savings as well. The investment savings can be withdraw anytime but not till 0. CI and TPD can be adjusted accordingly. Even include insurance that will pay itself if Im dead or my wife is dead. In the event of both parents also dead, one will be used to cover the premium and another will be credited into the investment savings account.

Good bor?

of course good la . . . product & company is good no doubt thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif
if you manage buy from a fulltimer & a good agent than its perfect

i'm quite slow.

wat is Tabaru ? is it unit trust?

wat u mean?

Is this wat u mean

RM4812 - RM 1813 = RM 2999

RM 2999 will be deducted from my unit trust?

there's 2 types of medical card in the market

1) its renewal every year, we call it step premium medical. Which mean the premium will increase
like in the table posted earlier

2) contract medical card which is attach to a link plan or traditional for some company. The premium is lock
base on ur entry age till your medical card expire when you are age 70/80

My personal point of view is to get a contract medical card . . . which some of cases i see outside
that once they made a major claim with renewal card, the insurer company might reject/exclude
the coverage on the following year.

Prudential and ING are both thinking of disposing off their interest in Asia, noth companies are indebted to their government due to expensive funding last year when they almost collapsed. Future is not certain. If another insurer takes over, the pool of available reserves may be 'kosong' - surplus from many years of doing business for that class without making losses. If reserve banyak, Bank Negara allow them to reduce premium, it is a premium maintenance requirement - complex unless you understand what BNM requires from insurance players in Malaysia.

Takaful is not part of PIAM or LIAM - it is a standalone and complain to BNM maybe a bit susah when you think you kena tipu. Big companies have international support where any treatment/drugs/expertise can be outsourced to a parent company in UK, USA or Germany. Takaful unfortunately doesn't have this.

why not PRU or ING? just wondering.

We sell term medical . . . is like a medical card which covors up to age 70/80/100.
There are companies outside selling standalone medical card, which mean a medical card which renewable every year without a term
Of course there is pros & cons here . . . & many other minor clauses to take into consideration

Term Medical card - premium slightly more expensive & must be attached to a life plan regardless its investment-link or traditional plan
Stand Alone - Lower & affordable premium for most people when young, premium will increase significantly during their retirement age

Just curious if there is such processing fee during sign up insurance?

For my case, I apply via my friend agent and submit via auto debit from cc. Few days later, prudential deducted my rm180 on 6/9/11

Later on they need my medical checkup n some report.
It's been delay till now n pending for approval.

My problem is I'm curious why they deduct my money since my policy not approve yet?

Let say my policy approve on next 1/10, prudential will deduct rm180 frm me again.
Then what about the rm180 they deducted on 6/9 ?
So meaning the rm180 from 6/9 to 1/10 is processing fee?
This is what been told by my agent, not sure how true

Can anyone advise?thanks a lot
*
alright...its normal for company to deduct your cc once you sign up a proposal under an insurance company
basically your case is pending for approve maybe due to some requirement like medical report or etc. . . .
the premium you paid will be used for the following month once its approve or we say the commencing date.
If its approve before 16/9/11 . . . the 1st premium shall be for sept, if its after 16/9/11 the premium shall be for oct thumbup.gif

Well my main concern is actually how the payment works.
As per your advise, let say the 1wt installment is commence once my application approved, they should not deduct me again once got approve right?
Next payment should be one month thereafter, for my 2nd months onward...

I think different

Presently tax relief is:-

Life Insurance & EPF = RM6,000
Medical & Education Insurance = RM3,000
Annuity = RM1,000 now increase to RM3,000

Please understand that tax relief is only an incentive to invest and protect your self

People who are serious about wealth creation and protection can achieve
more with proper information and planning even without this incentive

Correct . . . but end of day tax relief is part of financial management
Why pay extra to Gov as you could save up more for your own in the future. drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif



QUOTE(umapathy @ Nov 10 2011, 02:01 AM)
What about Pru Retirement?

You pay for 25 years then they pay you annually after that for 15 years.

Can it be considered as annuity scheme?
*
YES. So far for PRU this is the only product able for tax relief.
Btw additional information is, if you guys a using it for tax relief purpose
you cant make a withdrawal/policy loan until you reach the age of 55. icon_rolleyes.gif


QUOTE(umapathy @ Nov 10 2011, 01:05 PM)
Thanks Bro.

Pru Retirement Reward is an annuity scheme

Any Prudential agents can give me facts what was their past performances in unit trust funds?

Are they  good?

Thanks
*
we did about 6-7% on average for PruGolden bond fund, while PruGolden equity is about 10-12% on average.
This is base on pass performance result in the fund fact sheet.
