Here’s the thing about life – no matter how well you prepare to succeed, how hard you work on something or how low you stay to avoid trouble, there’s always a chance that things won’t turn out the way you want.
That’s what makes life beautiful and frightening at the same time. The worst thing you can do is to not have any preparation for it because when it comes to accidents or illnesses, it’s often not a question of “if” it will happen, but “when”.
What is Kurnia MediGUARD Supreme Medical Card about?
The MediGUARD Supreme provides comprehensive medical insurance protection until the age of 85 years old.
Besides that, the additional benefits provided will also help provide you some relief when your loved ones are hospitalised due to an accident or illness.
What are the benefits of this medical insurance?
As part of the “Enhanced Extended Benefits” of this medical insurance policy, in case you’ve been diagnosed with a Critical Illness, Kurnia MediGUARD Supreme will double the Overall Annual Limit in order to help you take care of hefty medical bills and cost of treatment.
If you have not made a claim during the year, you’ll also be rewarded with a 5% annual adjustment of your Overall Annual Limit, up to a maximum of 50% from your original Overall Annual Limit.
This means that if you’re able to stay relatively healthy for 10 years, you’ll enjoy an additional 50% protection at no extra cost to you. You just need to pay the medical card annual premiums as per your policy book.
