title=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction\"><\/span><strong>Introduction<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Health insurance premiums are rising every year. For many Malaysians, these increases are putting pressure on their monthly budget. As a result, many Malaysians are seriously considering whether they should <strong>cancel their old medical card<\/strong> to switch to the significantly cheaper MediAsas protection plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MediAsas starts from RM65 a month, which may seem affordable. However, cancelling your old policy too soon could leave you without enough medical coverage. This guide explains the key risks and how to switch safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Risk_of_Pre-Existing_Conditions\"><\/span><strong>The Risk of Pre-Existing Conditions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main concern when changing medical policies is pre-existing conditions. If you have already been diagnosed with any chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, while using your old card, those exact diseases will not be covered under a new MediAsas policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new policy may not cover medical conditions that existed before you applied. Therefore, if your current health profile is no longer as perfect as it once was, retaining your old medical card is undeniably a much safer financial decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Burden_of_a_Repeating_Waiting_Period\"><\/span><strong>The Burden of a Repeating Waiting Period<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you buy a new MediAsas plan, its waiting period starts again. For some illnesses, you may need to wait up to 120 days before making a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not cancel your old card on the same day you buy the new plan. You may face a four-month gap in coverage. If you need treatment during this period, you may need to pay some or all hospital costs yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Safe_Policy_Transition_Strategy\"><\/span><strong>A Safe Policy Transition Strategy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are healthy and plan to switch for lower premiums, consider keeping both policies for a short time. Keep your old medical card for at least 120 days after your MediAsas policy begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will pay two premiums for a few months. However, this helps you avoid a gap in coverage. After the waiting period ends, review your MediAsas coverage before cancelling the old policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cost_Structure_During_Ward_Admission\"><\/span><strong>Cost Structure During Ward Admission<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MediAsas uses a co-payment system to keep premiums lower. Some older medical cards may have different payment arrangements. You need to pay an RM500 deductible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you will also pay 20% co-insurance on the treatment bill. However, this co-insurance amount is heavily regulated and safely capped at a maximum of RM1,000 if you receive treatment within the recognized panel hospital network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick_Comparison_Old_Card_vs_MediAsas\"><\/span><strong>Quick Comparison: Old Card vs MediAsas<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Protection Aspect<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Old Private Medical Card<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>MediAsas Scheme Plan<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Premium Rate<\/strong><\/td><td>Quite expensive and rises annually<\/td><td>Highly affordable (Starts ~RM65\/month)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Annual Protection Limit<\/strong><\/td><td>Usually exceeds RM1 Million<\/td><td>Between RM100,000 to RM300,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Waiting Period<\/strong><\/td><td>Has already successfully passed<\/td><td>Starts all over again (Up to 120 days)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Pre-Existing Illnesses<\/strong><\/td><td>Likely fully covered by now<\/td><td>Absolutely excluded from coverage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Ward Admission Cost<\/strong><\/td><td>Depends on policy (Zero deductible exists)<\/td><td>RM500 Deductible + 20% Co-insurance (RM1k Cap)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQ\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Can I use MediAsas as a supplementary backup plan?<\/strong><\/li><li>Yes, this is highly encouraged.
