Does the claims-based pricing approach form Prudential applies to AIA HEALTHSHIELD GOLD MAX?

Currently i have a prusheild policy that my parents bought long ago but without rider. Hence i am looking for another insurance like HEALTHSHIELD GOLD MAX to add on rider to see if is more worth it. FYI, i did not make any claims/any medical history before.

Hey there! It is my personal opinion that riders are indeed quite a good addition to a shield plan, so it is most definitely worth it in the long term! Given that you dont have any pre-existing conditions, I would reccomend that you look into getting a better shield plan. Prushield currently runs on claims based pricing, meaning that premiums will increase the following year if you make a claim! Unfortunate AIA and a other companies will be adopting this method of pricing for their shield plans in the coming months as well (https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/banking-financ...), so its best to do your research or ask your agent! I'm an independent agent myself so I can given an unbiased opinion the various company's products and which steps you can take, but of course it's ultimately up to you! Hope this helps and thanks for reading :)

No, there is no claims-based pricing for AIA HealthShield Gold Max, nor its rider AIA Max VitalHealth.

In other words, a single claim from your own healthcare insurance will not cause your renewal premium to multiply.

Besides, I will suggest you to look into the rider option as this is where the medical bill gets complicated. Let me link you to an article for more details.

All things considered, you may wish to evaluate your needs and options, Thereafter, choose a plan that you are comfortable to make a claim, without worrying for the next few years each time.

Hi Anon,

In regards to claim based pricing, this only comes in if you have gotten the rider. If you...
