How do insurance agents normally tell their prospects or clients whether a policy has deductible benefits?

I believe that you are referring to the healthcare insurance policies in Singapore, e.g. MediShield Life, or Private Integrated Shield Plan. Let's take the latter for example.

Basic Plan

Typically, I will go through the product summary with the client and explain the table of benefits for the basic plan first. Accordingly, there will be a section where it states further on the pro-ration, deductible, and co-insurance. In essence, these are some of the costs that the client is expected to incur for the eligible expenses with the basic plan.

Rider

Next, we will move on and explain the rider for integrated shield plan. Generally, the purpose of the rider will be to cover the incurred cost of deductible, and co-insurance incurred under the basic plan. Despite that, it is subject to the relevant plan's terms and conditions. Thereafter, we will move on to the various examples.

In summary, I will conduct the discussion and explanation with the aid of the policy summary. Through this process, client is able to see the points clearly and is aware on the coverage to this end.
