What About AIA A-Life Mediflex Medical Card?

We opined that this standalone (term) medical card pales in comparison to its medical rider counterpart due to inferior annual limit (RM 180k to 350k only) and room & board rate (RM 350 is the top option available). Suitable option though if you only need short term medical coverage.

What About AIA A-Life Med Regular Medical Card (obsolete)?

We opined that this standalone (term) medical card pales in comparison to its medical rider counterpart due to inferior annual limit (RM 100k to 150k only) and room & board rate (RM 250 is the top option available). A shared outpatient cancer & kidney dialysis treatment up to RM 375k per lifetime is too low for comfort.

What About AIA Public Takaful A-Plus Med-I Or Booster-I Medical Card (obsolete)?

It is just a Takaful version of AIA A-Plus Med with Booster medical card, so it is subject to the weaknesses stated above.

What About AIA A-Plus Med Medical Card (obsolete)?

Its weaknesses of standalone lifetime limit for outpatient cancer & kidney dialysis and 2 mil lifetime limit for Plan 200 makes it unfavorable among the other options available.

Manulife medical card is the Best medical insurance in Malaysia?

Manulife medical card commentary

• Manulife Health Saver medical insurance replaced its predecessor, ManuHealth Elite
• Technically, Manulife Room & Board rate is in a class of its own because after R&B 250, the next Room & Board rate is titled “As Charged”.

Best deductible medical card in Malaysia – which one?

Best deductible medical card in Malaysia – which one is it?

Not having a full medical card after retirement could potentially be deadlier than the silent killer – inflation, when it actually hits. I’ve talked to individuals in their fifties who admitted to me they overlooked of getting their own medical card when they were in employment. Then, just before the mandatory retirement, it struck them – nobody is going to cover his post retirement medical bills.

If you are reading this, then I don’t want this to happen to you. Yet, I know what you are thinking – you probably don’t want to get a redundant medical card while you are covered by your company.

If this is your concern, then Second Medical Card aka Deductible aka Top Up medical card is the best for you. See below

When you are employed before age 60:
It could well be a good complement to your company-provided group medical card.
For example, if your company medical card coverage is RM 30k/year, you could get a RM 30k deductible medical card, with minimum premium (RM 1,200). Which means, only RM 30k and above medical expenses will be covered by this second card. (by the way, the deductible amount is configurable from RM 2k up to RM 30k)

When you retire after age 60:
What it means, when you reach age 60, this health care insurance will convert to become a zero deductible card – which means any medical expenses can be charged under this card – at the time when your company medical insurance coverage ceases. This happens without needing you to prove your health condition at age 60. Besides, it also has:

Cheaper? Yes. Peace of mind when you retire? Absolutely.

Understand basic medical card terminologies and why you must get the best health insurance for yourself

If you are totally new to the concept of a medical card or medical insurance, you may wonder:

“What does a medical card cover?” or “What does a medical card do?” or “What is medical card insurance?”

The intricacies of the best medical insurance is not to be underestimated, especially if you plan to retire in Malaysia for long term. Since health insurance, just like any other insurance, is essentially an unilateral contract, knowing the terms and conditions of your medical coverage is absolutely critical.

Why?

To prevent the hassle of dispute with the insurer on what it is not covered or reimbursable when you thought they are covered.

Otherwise, nasty situation like this may happen.

The other health insurance features you definitely want to take note on are:

• Daily Room & Board rate – determines the type of hospital room you can choose to stay in without topping up the difference. It is very normal to go for a minimum RM 200 R&B nowadays, which could be a twin-sharing room. If you want basic single room or above, a R&B of RM 300 and above is recommended. Some hospitals like Pantai Hospital Bangsar or Sunway medical center ever offers suite room which can cost you up to 4 figures per night. Upgrading R&B rate higher than what you are entitled for in your health insurance policy may trigger a certain co-payment clause in the insurance contract. This render you needing to share a certain percentage of the total medical bill with the insurer, aside from paying the difference in room & board rate.

• Lifetime Limit (if any) – specifies the limited sum of medical expenses which can be exhausted throughout the duration of health insurance coverage (usually up to age 100). It does not refresh every year but the best medical cards usually have no limit lifetime coverage.

• Annual Limit (if any) – specifies the limited sum of medical expenses which can be exhausted within any 1 policy year as long as the health insurance is in-force. No worry, it will be refreshed upon your policy anniversary date. If you actual cost of medical treatment exceed your medical card annual limit though, you have no choice but to cover the exceeded amount.

• As charged – covers hospitalization expenses which are deemed medically necessary, and as per reasonable and customary charges according to the schedule set by MMA (Malaysian Medical Association). If a medical procedure was being overcharged by hospital, then you need to top up the difference of amount for which the insurer doesn’t cover.

• Deductible – an amount that you will have to pay for your medical treatment before your medical insurance plan will begin to pay for you.For example:
  Deductible level of RM 5,000 means when Ali got admitted to hospital and the medical bill costs RM 9,000, Ali has to pay RM 5,000 first before his insurer pays the balance, up to the medical card annual or lifetime limit.

• Co insurance – an amount, usually in percentage (10%, 20%) of the total medical bill which you have to fork out on your own, regardless of the medical bill amount. The insurance company does not cover for this amount. Usually, the best medical card in Malaysia comes with zero co insurance.
• Pre or post hospitalization coverage – could include two or all of these: diagnostic tests (x-ray scans or lab tests), specialist consultation, treatment, prescribed medication and second medical opinion

• Home Nursing Care coverage – a public or private residential facility providing a high level of long-term personal or nursing care for persons (such as the aged or the chronically ill) who are unable to care for themselves properly.

For example:

Co insurance of 10% means when Ali got admitted to hospital and the medical bill costs RM 9,000, Ali has to pay RM 900 while his insurer pays the remaining amount, up to the medical card annual or lifetime limit.

• Last entry age – the last age where you can buy a medical insurance policy. Normally it could be at 60, 65 or 70.

• Exclusions – illnesses or medical conditions that are not covered by a medical card or medical insurance. Common exclusions include pre-existing conditions, specified illness occurring during the first one hundred twenty (120) days of upon policy being in-force (hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, all tumors, cancers, cysts, nodules, polyps, stones of the urinary and biliary system, all ear, nose (including sinuses) and throat conditions, hernias, hemorrhoids, fistulae, hydrocele, varicocele, endometriosis including disease of the reproductive system, vertebro-spinal disorders (including disc) and knee conditions), cosmetic treatments, dental conditions, congenital abnormalities, pregnancy-related conditions, AIDS or sexually transmitted disease, self-inflicted injuries, drug addiction, mental or nervous disorders

• Pre-existing Condition – illnesses that a policy holder has a reasonable knowledge of on or before the effective date of insurance. Policy holder may be considered to have a reasonable knowledge of a pre-existing conditions if he or she had received or is receiving treatment, medical advice, diagnosis…and/or there is a clear and distinct symptoms and/or the symptoms of an illness would have been apparent to a reasonable person.

Also, do you agree that medical costs will carry one or more of the characteristics below:

• Most unexpected
• Most unavoidable
• Possibly long term & recurring
• Most impactful to retirement nest egg

How impactful, you asked?

For minor condition like cataract or appendicitis, the cost of such treatments may hardly dent your retirement nest egg. But what if major conditions like below hit you?

Medical costs have escalated around the world and this is no different in Malaysia. Medical inflation averages about 10% each year and is projected to rise due to advancement in medical technology.

Procedures to Utilize a Medical Card

When you want to seek medical treatment due to illness/accident at private hospitals, you should try to go to a hospital that is covered by the medical card.

Hospitals that are covered by the medical card are also called Panel Hospital. Panel hospitals will be able to provide cashless hospital admission hassle free.

Of course, you still can get admitted to other hospitals, but you will then need to settle in full your medical bill upon discharge and then later file claim to reimburse the medical expenses from the insurance company, usually within 30 days.

Admitting to a panel hospital saves you these paperworks because the insurance company will pay directly the hospital provided a Letter of Guarantee (GL) is issued by the insurer to the hospital upon your hospital admission.

Bear in mind hospital may still need to charge you some deposits upfront to cover for items not covered by your medical card.

In order to minimize any unnecessary delays, it is the norm to follow some pointers below as part of the claims process:

• Before undergoing any non-emergency medical treatment, call the customer care helpline of your insurance company and confirm whether your doctor’s proposed treatment is covered in your medical insurance policy and whether your hospital of choice is panel hospital
• Request your doctor or specialist to fill in and sign your claim form. He or she may charge a small administration fee which may not be covered by your medical card
• If you are admitted to a non-panel hospital, remember to submit a written notice to your insurance company as soon as possible, or within 30 days of the treatment period if you are diagnosed with a condition or illness that is claimable under your medical insurance policy
• Attach all filled claims documents with the original bills and receipts, investigation or diagnostic reports if any, full doctor’s medical reports, physician’s cost summary of treatment and referral letter, if any.

Understand the Common Reasons your Medical Claims can get Rejected

Your servicing intermediary can assist you with the claim although there is really nothing stopping you from doing it yourself by submitting the claims using snail mail or walking into insurer’s servicing office.

Furthermore, most insurers also have their electronic portal (or app) to submit your claims paperless and you will be paid via direct online banking – it is much faster and convenient so check this option before you hastily submit a claim the manual way.

Claims Rejected?

Communicate with the servicing intermediary and review claim submission again before filing an appeal.

Seek advice from PIAM Information Centre and Ombudsman for Financial Services (OFS) if you opined that your claim has been unfairly rejected.

Standalone versus Rider Medical Card

What is the difference between a medical rider and a term (standalone) medical card?

Read below –

What You Should Know When Buying Standalone Medical Card Vs. a Rider and Make the Right Decision

Compared to guaranteed renewal clause in medical rider, some standalone medical cards have conditional renewable clause whereby – if you are hit with a long term/ critical illnesses, insurer will likely impose unfavorable terms & conditions like premium loading, coverage exclusion from the illness and even rejection at your next renewal cycle. Think of it like renewing your car insurance after a major accident.

On the other hand, rider medical card is confirmed to have “Guaranteed renewable” clause whereby as long as you pay for the policy on time, insurer is obliged to renew the policy (provided the lifetime claim limit, if any, has not been exceeded).

The question you need to ask yourself is this:

Am I getting this medical card today for short-mid term or for long term? And will I be able to upgrade to or rebuy another medical card in the future given my current health condition?

For both types of medical cards, cost of insurance or insurance charges, however, is not guaranteed. That means insurer can hike the insurance charges which may affect your premium directly or indirectly.

This scenario normally requires approval from central bank and it affects every policy holders having that medical card (does not discriminate or single anyone out)

Overseas Medical Treatment & Coverage

By the way, visitors to this page also frequently ask – “Can I buy a medical card which covers me in foreign countries?” or “Can foreigner buy medical insurance in Malaysia?”

The answer to the first question lies in the video below, while for the second question, the answer is YES, provided you at least have long term residency visa like MM2H visa. See more details in our other article – Retiring in Malaysia : Get the Best Health Insurance & Prevent Medical Costs from Touching your Retirement Nest Egg.

Do I even need an overseas medical card or health insurance coverage?

Answer = Yes if you have a rare medical condition that healthcare providers in Malaysia do not possess the expertise or equipment for treatment.

But then the next question is – how would you know that beforehand? You don’t, agree?

So by the time you realize this (the insufficiency of local healthcare services for your medical condition), you won’t be able to get yourself insured already for overseas medical coverage.

However, if you really have deep pockets and are concerned about the inadequacy of Malaysian medical expertise or want to have that options to be treated overseas, then this is for you. But then again, you could have probably gotten yourself a pure international medical coverage instead of a quasi-international medical card from any Malaysian insurer because some of them only offers coverage a pre-defined set of critical medical conditions.

Answer = No if you are not a globe-trotting executive or nomad. Even if you are on frequent business trips, as long as you are not outside of Malaysia for 90 days consecutively, you likely don’t need an overseas medical coverage.

No doubt that overseas medical card comes access to well-know global healthcare providers, with very high annual and/or lifetime limit (usually in US Dollar),  not only to account for the cost of insurance but also travel-related expenses costs. And that comes with a cost in the form of  higher premiums than a standard Malaysian medical card.

Can I use my Malaysian medical insurance overseas?

Aside from coverage in Brunei and Singapore (for some Malaysian medical card), all standard Malaysian medical cards do not offer direct (cashless) coverage for elective overseas medical treatment, although they may provide a value-added services such as a second opinion benefit.

For that matter, if you are hospitalized outside Malaysia for any emergency medical procedure, do not expect you will be reimbursed in full for your medical bill.

Insurers are not stupid; they will only reimburse you an amount that is up to what is defined in Malaysian Medical Association’s (MMA) Schedule of Fees when it comes to medical procedures, and what’s reasonable and customary for other medical expenses such as prescriptions and medical supplies.

see below as we explain more.

Insurance company will use this information to determine the amount they are willing to pay for a particular service in a particular area.

As an example, assume stroke treatment at a private hospital is around RM40,000, but when you were in United States, you had a stroke and it set you back for US$50,000 for an emergency medical procedure.

How much do you think your Malaysian insurer is going to reimburse you?
