A young lady aged 29 called me for help. She has a group medical insurance from her company. She needs help from this health insurance to get admitted to a hospital.
The hospital she wants to go to is not an AIA Platinum hospital. The hospital is asking for a RM600 deposit to get registered and admitted. Even though she has a letter of guarantee (LOG) from AIA.
Some hospitals have this requirement. This is to cover possible costs such as vitamins, supplements, or reports that are not covered by the insurance.

AIA Platinum hospitals do not ask for deposits from AIA LOG or e-medical card holders. The LOG is enough to get admitted and treated.
This young lady was having terrible stomach pains. And she did not have RM600 to pay for the deposit. So she went to a nearby government hospital.
She waited for almost 3 hours before the doctor attended her. As you know, government hospitals are very packed and busy, as they are seen as the cheapest option. The busy medical officer (MO) gave her medicine for stomach ache. And the MO told her to come back if the problem did not go away.
So a few days later, her problem was still there. She could not stand to wait so long again. She managed to get RM600 and was admitted to that private hospital.
The admission was fast, with the deposit and AIA LOG. The specialist treated her within a day, and she went for an operation on her uterus. It was an issue with her uterus. She recovered fully. Got a 2 month medical leave for recovery.
All the treatment costs were taken care by the AIA Group Insurance Policy of her company. A really good employee benefit by her company. And a quick and easy admission and discharge process. Simple claim process.

She really appreciated that the insurance had taken care of her pain, and her medical bills. Her life savings and income was not touched to pay for this unexpected event. And no hutang or debt to anyone. Except appreciation to her employer and AIA.
She now knows the importance of life and medical insurance. She knows how valuable it is in protecting her finances and life from risks of life. You never know when something bad is going to happen. And in today’s world, if there is no emergency money to back up, then you can only suffer and burn your savings to pay for it.
It is also better to have a personal medical insurance. This can cover excess costs, that cannot be covered by the group insurance as the limit for you could be low or could be reached. Therefore your personal medical insurance can cover the extra costs and gives you medical bills freedom for your lifetime, especially with the AIA Medical Card.
She wants to buy a personal life and medical insurance policy just in case her company changes and to increase coverage. But because of this recent medical event, she has a waiting period of 2 years before she can apply for insurance protection.
Which is sad, because the later you take an insurance policy, the more expensive it becomes. Because of the age factor. And once you reach your 50s and 60s the premiums go up by 2 to 3 times the normal rates.
So a lesson learnt. She now shares her story with her family and friends. The importance of buying a life insurance plan at an early age. Insurance payments are lower, minimal pre-existing conditions to exclude (as we grow older, we would have had a few medical events that insurance will not cover. like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity etc)
Investment linked medical insurance, reduces the cost of payments (insurance premiums) over the long term for the later age. This type of insurance policy can pay for the higher payments for that older age. This reduces the financial burden as we grow older.
This ensures their payments are controlled to much lower rates when they reach their 50s and 60s. And that they will have a comprehensive and good coverage in their golden years.
A good wellness program linked to your insurance plans also help in this.
