Not any normal visit can claim one. Those all coverage one is quite expensive, the rider is like high hundreds to few k per year depending on your age.

Nzy Twincharged September 8, 2017 Share September 8, 2017 that's what my agent told me ... anyway, i would agree if the car insurance and hospital insurance are the same. got claim then increase, no claim, then give discount. but in my case, bo tai bo chi no claim also up double !!?? really eat me until die die !! Some company choose to increase the premiums for all their policyholders by a fixed amount. So all increase by the same amount. End up those that never claim get penalised. i also opt for copay with prud, but the premium only about $100 or less. Pru got new one. If stay private, got co-pay but cap at $5k. Stay govt hospital, no co-pay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic September 8, 2017 Share September 8, 2017 (edited) Some company choose to increase the premiums for all their policyholders by a fixed amount. So all increase by the same amount. End up those that never claim get penalised. I think this is far assuming the claim was not due to pre-existing illnesses. Otherwise what's the point of insurance if you can only really claim once? After you claim that 1 time (assuming it's a big sum), the insurer raises the premiums so high that the insurance becomes unaffordable for you anyway. That being said, doubling of the premium seems a bit crazy! Their actuary must have been sleeping when the first set the premiums.

So no claim is first tier. Then never claim for certain number of years will get 10% discount. Then the more you claim the higher tier you are. But every year that you don't claim you will drop one tier. So won't become too expensive and it prevents people from claiming excessively. Its because of these people who anyhow claim thats why all the insurers raising the premiums. As far as I know, because of this, the increase in premiums for prudential shield plan is the lowest among all the insurers already assuming you never claim.

Ysc3 Twincharged September 8, 2017 Share September 8, 2017 yup, i can't switch already. haha i am stuck too ... only option is for me to downgrade to co-payment ... so got to think carefully. just came back from hospital barely 2 weeks ago coz of a family member. all i want to say when i admit him into hospital, my thinking is, wah heng i got him medical insurance 6mths ago. cannot go private ward, at least go ward B i not worried was prudent of me to sign my father up too .... these past 4 years he has been in and out of hospital for many times .... if not for the policy i bought for him, i think the fees enough to buy a Cat B car liow !!

pi3142 3rd Gear September 8, 2017 Share September 8, 2017 wa u damn brave ah..just a tot next time u wanna AOR again.. Private hospital : they don't want you to stay too long..esp when u can be discharge (medically).. coz they earned more $$$ from those come in (test la, diagnostic la etc).. meaning bill size tapers off.. Public Hospitals : they damn full that they will discharge you when you are medically fit to be discharged for you this event.. basically the clinicians in their professional judgment believes that you are not medically fit to be discharged. I can only say don't play play ... end up pray pray My post might exude bravado, but there was no play or bravado involved in that decision. Staff chitchatting amongst themselves during medication issue. Bubble in iv and nonchalant about it. Alcohol swabbing is suspect when doing iv. And the reason by the doctor to advise extension of stay to observe, is a silly non-issue that would not even permit admission in the first place (i.e. cover his backside - anyway not his problem if there are no beds and not his money involved). Balancing the risks, better to get discharged or risk infection, wrong meds, etc. And save a hefty sum for the insurer along the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
