In Malaysia, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/howtofinancemoney.com\/2016\/11\/cost-medical-procedures-2015.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medical inflation has been estimated to<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> increase to about 10% to 15% annually, based on statistics from the past 15 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That number is projected to hit 13% in 2019, according to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.willistowerswatson.com\/-\/media\/WTW\/PDF\/Insights\/2018\/11\/2019-global-medical-trends-survey-report.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">report by Willis Towers Watson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a leading global advisory. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the constant rise of healthcare costs, adequate financial protection is needed in order to protect you in the event you are faced with unexpected health predicaments or the sudden onset of critical illness. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wait, why do all these numbers matter? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be medically protected is crucial for various reasons. You might think that the medical insurance provided by your employer is good enough but remember that it\u2019s only while you\u2019re still with the company. In addition, the coverage your company provides may also be insufficient, which means you may have to fork out additional money to cover expenses that exceed the coverage limit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you leave the company, you\u2019re leaving yourself and your family vulnerable to unexpected medical expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting medical insurance is not only about being able to pay medical and hospitalisation bills, but also being able to afford follow up treatments, medicines, and caretaker costs. In the event that your illness is something grave, it also serves as an income replacement in the case that you\u2019re no longer able to work. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Okay, but where do I start? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a wide choice of medical plans out there &#8211; and you might feel overwhelmed with all the choices. Choosing the right type of plan that can cater to your needs will help you out in a time of need. Each type of plan will have distinct differences providing different types of coverage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want just a basic medical plan, are you looking for something more comprehensive because you don\u2019t like to leave it all to chance? Or perhaps your biggest worry at this point of life is being prone to critical illness or cancer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38391\" src=\"https:\/\/static.imoney.my\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/infographic-1-800x1557.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"1137\" srcset=\"\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/infographic-1.png 800w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/infographic-1-300x584.png 300w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/infographic-1-768x1495.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this chart directs you to only one plan, it\u2019s important to note that your health and medical needs may require you to sign up for multiple plans &#8211; because each plan caters to different needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let\u2019s look at the differences between the three types of medical protection that are available &#8211; hospitalisation and surgical, critical illness, and cancer-specific. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Something-basic-Hospitalisation-and-surgical\"><\/span><b>Something basic: Hospitalisation and surgical <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re familiar with medical insurance plans or not, you probably know how this plan works. Let\u2019s just say you get hospitalised or need to undergo surgery, and the entire cost amounts to about RM10,000. This plan will help to pay for hospitalisation and surgical expenses &#8211; so you don\u2019t have to worry about where you\u2019re going to fork out all that money from. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is important to note that when you choose a basic medical plan, it may only cover a set of specific hospitalisation reasons and covers surgical expenses up to specified limits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A medical insurance solution like <\/span><b>PRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Medical Plus is perfect to get you started. It can financially prepare you for your medical needs and be there for you when you get hospitalised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will need to be aware of the maximum coverage your medical plan provides, otherwise known as limits. There are two types of limit i.e. annual and lifetime. Annual limit means there is a cap on the benefits that your insurance company will pay in a year. Once you have reached that limit, you have to bear the rest of the costs for that year. Lifetime limit means the cap on the benefits you will receive during the entire period that you\u2019re attached in a medical plan. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under <\/span><b>PRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Medical Plus, you can choose from its three unique available plans &#8211; <\/span><b>PRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Value Med, <\/span><b>PRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Million Med, and<\/span><b> PRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health that will give different levels of coverage and benefits. Here\u2019s an overview of each plan: <\/span><\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-1186\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1186\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">PRUValue Med <\/th><th class=\"column-2\">PRUMillion Med<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">PRUHealth<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">No annual limit,<br \/>\nsubject to Med Value Point<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">High annual limit of up to RM1.98 million<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Annual limit of up to RM150,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">No lifetime limit,<br \/>\nsubject to Med Value Point<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">No lifetime limit<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Lifetime limit of up to RM1.56 million<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-1186 from cache -->\n<p><b><br \/>\nPRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Value Med is the first medical plan in Malaysia with no annual and lifetime limits to provide you with continuous coverage. In the event that the total eligible claims paid exceeds the initial Med Value Point plus any accumulated Med Value Point Bonus, Prudential will still pay 80% of the total eligible benefit cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>PRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Million Med is designed to provide a high annual limit above RM1 million a year which gives you holistic coverage while enjoying great value. It also has no lifetime limit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want a medical plan that doesn\u2019t only pay for your hospital bills, but also rewards you as a customer with a yearly bonus? Aside from an annual limit up to RM150,000 and lifetime limit up to RM1.56million, <\/span><b>PRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health rewards you when no claims are paid under this plan for the previous year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Something-more-extensive-Critical-illness-rider-%E2%80%93-expansion-of-basic-medical-coverage\"><\/span><b>Something more extensive: Critical illness rider \u2013 expansion of basic medical coverage<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you take a look at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freemalaysiatoday.com\/category\/leisure\/2018\/07\/02\/top-10-causes-of-death-in-malaysia\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">top ten causes of death in Malaysia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, nine out of the 10 reasons is due to critical illnesses. This is not to paint a dark picture here, but to look at actual numbers and the reality. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critical illness is a life-threatening condition. Any serious illness that you think of &#8211; off the top of your head, such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, is a critical illness. It requires an exorbitant amount of money for treatment and recovery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critical illness does not discriminate and can affect anyone at any stage of their lives. So if you\u2019re looking for a medical protection plan that is beyond basic protection and a bit more thorough, a critical illness plan may be the right one for you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a hospitalisation insurance plan helps to foot medical bills, a critical illness cover would shield your finances from any major illnesses. Which is why it\u2019s good to have additional critical illness coverage on top of your basic medical plan. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What does the critical illness plan do for you?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s look at how it works. In the event you are diagnosed with a certain critical illness, this plan will pay you a lump sum in advance. Which means the money goes to you instead of the hospital. You can decide what you want to use the money for; medical bills, caretaker costs, supplement family income &#8211; or anything else that is not already covered in your medical plan. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, Prudential offers a rider, <\/span><b>Crisis Care <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that can be added to <\/span><b>PRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Medical Plus solution. Crisis Care provides coverage for 43 types of critical illnesses as specified in the plan. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Something-specific-Cancer-Protection\"><\/span><b>Something specific: Cancer Protection<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data by Malaysia\u2019s Health Ministry revealed that one in four people are expected to develop cancer by the age of 75. Most patients drop out of treatment due to financial constraints. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your main concern at this point is to protect yourself from the gruelling prospects of cancer, then <\/span><b>PRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cancer X is the right choice for you. Even though cancer is a type of critical illness, it\u2019s best to get comprehensive protection for cancer alone &#8211; as there are various stages to cancer treatment and a different recovery process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>PRU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cancer X provides high cancer protection of up to RM2 million &#8211; so you can focus on recovery instead of worrying about the money and costly medical bills. In addition to that, it also gives you early stage cancer coverage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With an affordable premium and easy enrolment process, it\u2019s best to consider this cancer protection plan so you can be prepared for anything that comes your way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under this plan, you will also be given a lump sum payment, which you can use for reasons as you see fit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treating and recovering from critical illness and cancer is not a one-time thing. It can take one years to completely recover, and this will inevitably result in the accumulation of bills. Having the right medical plan that takes care of the bills can help you focus on your recovery, your well-being and your family. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s best to be prepared against any kind of emergency that life throws at you. Make sure that you\u2019re well insured in any situation. Having the right medical insurance will ensure that you have sufficient income replacement to get the medical treatment you need to get your life back on track.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38388\" src=\"https:\/\/static.imoney.my\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/what-do-you-need.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"1064\" srcset=\"\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/what-do-you-need.png 600w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/what-do-you-need-300x532.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"block\"><div><\/p>\n<p><strong>Whether you need a comprehensive, basic medical plan, or something catered to your personal requirements and concerns, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prudential.com.my\/en\/our-products\/critical-illness-health\/\">Prudential has the solution to your needs<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s how to choose the right medical plan that caters to your needs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":38349,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[133,236],"tags":[208,434],"class_list":["post-38339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insurance","category-sponsored","tag-featured","tag-prudential"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What kind of medical protection plan do I need?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"There are many medical plans out there in the market.
