Hi PJusa,
ya i made a call to TK to enquire the same.. Like you said, renewal is not guarantee if you have claims on the current policy year, they will impose exclusion, or add loadings depending on the illness..  This is one drawback (for me at least..).  But of course their +ve is the outpatient cancer is as charged..but not the dialysis.  So, yeah..good n bad.  Thank for sharing.

Hi all,

I m newbie here...but i find premium for TM medicPlus is extremely cheap compare to normal conventional insurance provider... does it sound fishy????

As for guarantee renewal issue, there is a guideline by MMA that all insurance provider shud quote "it is guarantee renewal provided the insurer continue to provide this plan in the market". Which mean any insurance provider (IP) are allowed to withdraw the plan provided they have informed their customer few months in advance. Normally IP will opt to withdraw the plan rather than absorbing the losses if the claim is too high or mismanage continuously.

A typical example : i have a real case happen to my friend's mum who bought a medical card frm SIHAT MALAYSIA was not allowed to renew after she made a claim due to minor stroke hospitalisation.

On the other hand, another case where my friend's mum was allowed to renew her medical card with Great Eastern without any discruption after she made a claim due to Parkinson.

I was told to opt for Life insurance provider instead of General life Insurnce provider due guarantee renewal issue...as normally reputable Life Insurance Provider has better/larger pool for risk assesment.

Hi I do agree on what you've said because life insurer has better/larger pool for risk assesment. Buy a med insurance with a Life Insurer.

[COLOR=red]This is exactly true if you really read the terms and conditions in the life policies - but also you must read their withdrawal portfolio and there are some other reasons when they wanna withdraw the said med policy.
SIHAT MALAYSIA is not guaranteed renewable and this happens to most of the med policies offered by General Insurer.

PJusa,

From the clause you posted, it looks to me like it is renwable NOT Guaranteed Renewable. The term guaranteed is a must for the arguement sake. As far as i'm concern - renewability is not guaranteed when they say a policy is renewable.

I really find it puzzling with the extra cheap annual premium of TM's Medical card as compare with other few local Life IP. Anyone know why? Really puzzle me.... Haha.. wish to find out more as i am holding two expensive medical card (2x more expensive with the same plan and benefit with the so-called Life Insurance Provider.
