You never know when you'll become uninsurable ๐ฅน
Hindi "marketing tactic" ung sinasabi ng insurance advisors that not everyone is insurable.
We usually take it for granted, iniisip natin "next time na, di pa priority" until it's too late.
Akala natin dahil bata pa tayo, maaapprove agad tayo when we apply so pinagpapaliban natin.
Don't wait until it's too late.
I'm only 26. I already have an existing policy with critical illness benefits, but I'm applying for a 2nd one kasi gusto kong dagdagan. But because of my diagnosed health condition, na I didn't think would have an effect on my insurability, may chance na di na ko makakuha ng additional policy.
I'm still hoping my 2nd application gets approved though. ๐ค
But please, take it seriously when we say.. Apply for an insurance policy while you're still healthy. Para di na kayo mahassle to undergo full medical exam when you apply, and di kayo maging alanganin on getting approved. ๐
My recommended amount of coverage for critical illness is 2 million pesos dapat. Maximum allowable is 10 million. Dahil seriously, mahal magka-critical illness sa Pilipinas.
Please, take it seriously. This is the reason why I joined this industry - when I was in the healthtech startup industry, kitang kita ko kasi yung effect of finances sa health outcomes of critical illness cases. A lot of people don't know na may critical illness insurance plans na pwedeng iavail aside from PhilHealth and HMO. Kasi honestly, kulang talaga pag yang dalawa lang.
Yung parents ko, I got them critical illness insurance policies when they were 49 years old. Kasi if ever something happens to them (wag naman sana), I do not want to feel helpless. I want to make sure to get the best care possible for them in case that happens (pero I always pray pa rin na wag sila, please). When I processed their application, hindi sila nirequire to undergo medical exam, approved agad ung policies nila! Tapos ako eto, required. ๐

This is my advocacy and I mean it when I say, get insured ASAP while you're healthy AND make sure you have ENOUGH CRITICAL ILLNESS BENEFITS. And make sure your immediate family members get protected too. ๐
