>> Hey buddy old pal. Today I'm going to tell you
[4]
why you suck when it comes to choosing
[7]
to buy the best medical card or medical insurance for yourself.
[20]
All right people. The reason you suck is not
[23]
because you are not smart is just because you.
[28]
Are not in the position to make a fair and informed comparison.
[34]
Let me show you what I mean by this.
[37]
Now first thing you know
[39]
that there's a lot of room and board options
[41]
that you need to choose to know now at least here
[44]
at least there are six common options
[47]
when it comes to room & board
[49]
So of course you and you choose a room and board
[52]
which is higher naturally cost more.
[55]
Now the second thing is comes to Basic to VIP range
[60]
what I mean by that is
[61]
that you want to have ready to have a medical card
[65]
with your medical expenses in Malaysia
[68]
or you want a medical card which cover medical expenses
[72]
when you are hospitalized overseas
[74]
For example in Singapore.
[76]
And they will reimburse you the medical expense
[79]
due to an admission
[81]
in in whatever reasonable and customary rate
[85]
in Singapore kind of prescribed rate
[89]
instead of Malaysian prescribed rate.
[92]
So what we call a basic and a VIP rate
[95]
so you need to choose between that.
[96]
Although a lot of people will fall within the first category
[99]
if you really don't have not
[102]
that frequent travel overseas to Singapore.
[104]
Oh that. Now the third thing is about co insurance.
[109]
Very easy. You have to choose whether you want co insurance
[112]
or don't want co insurance.
[114]
And the next thing is you have to choose
[117]
sometimes a product Medical Card product
[120]
who are option between having a deductible
[123]
or not having a deductible
[125]
and whether the deductible you want to keep or convert it
[129]
to zero deductible at age 55 or 60.
[132]
So again another option for you to choose
[135]
and the fifth one the more common most common one is annual limit.
[139]
You could have you could buy plain Medical
[143]
card with for example a normal hundred thousand of annual limit.
[147]
Or you could actually say that I went to top up to this
[150]
annual limit would be
[152]
extended annual limit which is ten times
[155]
more than what would the plain normally entitled to.
[160]
So you can see that with all these
[163]
5 aspects to consider is it room
[166]
and board you have six choices to choose for product range.
[169]
You have two choices to choose from
[171]
and same goes for co insurance deductible and annual limit
[174]
So can you imagine these kinds of options
[177]
is only for one insurance company.
[180]
Imagine that and you have to compare at least three
[184]
or more insurance company
[185]
with all these options for you to mix and match
[188]
and you must have you must understand
[191]
you must pick and customize it so that each shoosh
[195]
fits into your budget or your family budget.
[199]
And if you are paying for more than one person you know
[202]
that you have to do the whole process again and again.
[207]
So that is why.
[209]
I shall prove to you that for example Allianz
[212]
Allianz they have at least right 3 range of medical cards
[215]
Right. And they have these two range ones
[218]
covers medical expenses
[220]
in in Malaysia Malaysian medical procedures.
[225]
And the other covers medical expenses in Singapore prescribe
[231]
medical expenses right.
[233]
So you see that one insurance company
[236]
that Schriefer will choose from.
[238]
Look at Great Eastern
[240]
and you know
[242]
that they are already 3 this health protection
[245]
you have these Smart Medic, Smart Medic Extra
[251]
Premier Health visits to 3 range of medical costs
[254]
and you can have a top up like
[256]
Smart Extender, Smart Extender Max and all that.
[259]
So there's a lot of these kind of variables come together
[264]
and that is why medical card
[266]
is one of the most of them most the most Knesset's.
[271]
For you to buy.
[272]
But at the same time it's one of the most complex
[275]
when it comes to customizing one for you and yourself
[279]
and if you want to buy you know normal life
[282]
or even critical illness coverage
[284]
or even saving plans I know that that's not so complicated
[289]
because the only thing you have to consider
[291]
is basically the price
[294]
OK between different insurance company
[296]
because death is death market life.
[298]
Correct. Basically you die you get paid critical illness
[301]
if you hit by any of the thirty six illnesses then you got paid.
[305]
So the only thing you can pay is not too much of a coverage.
[309]
But more on the price but when it comes to medical attention
[311]
and medical card
[313]
there's this a lot of variables to consider.
[316]
So before we wrap this we do you might ask what yes.
[320]
What are my options. How do I go about it.
[323]
So I would actually advice before you look at this.
[327]
Actually I'm trying on your own.
[328]
OK get some quotes from insurance agent
[332]
and all that but end of the day
[335]
you might only hear the good things about certain products
[338]
but not definitely not the bad thing about certain products.
[342]
And it's up to you to find out on your own. Right.
[345]

[348]
