guys i need help in buying medical insurance

Im 22. self employed.. non smoker.. and i would like an insurance which covers if im hospitalised or unable to work the insurance will cover me.. earning per month is 2-5k around there.

what's a fair amount to cover myself with ? i prefer not to link with investment as i've been told investment and insurance should be seperated

~Battousai~,

you would need two insurances in this case if you want a hospitalisation benefit. for your health insurance there are many many general insurance options. do you have a budget or preferences? this will pretty determine the choice of H&S that you will (have) to make.

what exactly do you want to cover when you say "unable to work the insurance will cover me". do you require a daily / monthly cash benefit if you are unabel to work? if so how long should the payout take place and under what circumstances. to some extend the lump-sum payment of a CI may be what you want. if you only want cover in case of accident, a good PI policy might be what you are looking for. as far as i know there is no malaysian policy that will cover you with a monthly payment or lumpsum payment if for any reason you should be unable to work. with some luck you might however be able to get such a policy from abroad. but: such a policy (unless its lumpsum) will be pretty expensive, i would assume a couple of thousand ringgit in your case per annum.

hey PJusa.. thanks for the reply..greatly appreciated

ok i'll list down more details so easier for u to recommend:

What's your income? 2-5k self employed
What's your budget for Insurance? 150-300 per month
How old? 22 this year
Female/Male? male
Occupation? tennis coach
Do you have any dependent? How many? How old? Are they working or not? no dependent...for personal use

what i mean is like i heard prudential has this where if u cant work they'll pay u right.. say if im covered for 2k of pay they'll pay me 2k as long as i cant work..some sort like that.. i have simply no experience in insurance so im not sure about the payout to me.. would greatly appreciate if u could explain to me better

i would like to cover for the 36 CI and also medical card in case i get hospitalised..as hospital fees are constantly rising.. i need to cover at least 250-300 a night for room.. as the premium doenst increase with age right ? so better get high from young i believe.. correct me if im wrong

really appreciate the info u given me..thanks
