Dear Valued Customers,
Following recent statement by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and a joint statement by The Life Insurance Association of Malaysia (LIAM), the Malaysian Takaful Association (MTA) and Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (PIAM) on Interim measures to support policyholders impacted by the recent premium/contribution repricing, we would like to communicate our approach and planned actions for our impacted policyholders.
At Liberty Insurance, we are committed to addressing the needs of our valued partners and customers. We understand the importance of this matter and are focused on supporting affected policyholders through this transition in accordance with the Interim measures:
1. Spreading out future premium/contribution increases arising from repricing due to medical claims inflation
Insurance and Takaful Operators (ITO) will spread out the changes in premiums arising from medical claims inflation over a minimum of three years. This measure will remain in place until the end of 2026. With this measure, at least 80% of policyholders/participants is expected to experience yearly premium adjustments due to medical claims inflation of less than 10%.
2. Special provisions for 60 years old and above who are covered under the minimum plan
One-year temporary pause in premium/contribution adjustment arising from medical claims inflation for those above age 60 and above, who are covered under the minimum plan within the MHIT products that they purchased. This temporary pause will be effected for one year from their policy anniversary. Policyholders/participants are advised to check with their insurer or takaful operator on details of their MHIT plan.
The two interim measures above are not applicable to premium increases that may apply when a policyholder moves to a higher age band. This will be managed by the insurer or takaful operator.
3. Policy/certificate reinstatement options for surrendered or lapsed policies/certificates in 2024
Policyholders/participants who have surrendered or lapsed their policies/certificates due to medical repricing in 2024 will be eligible for reinstatement without underwriting requirements.
4. Alternative MHIT Products
To supplement the interim measures, ITOs will offer appropriate alternative MHIT products at the same or lower premiums for policyholders who do not wish to continue their existing MHIT plans that have been repriced. ITOs that do not currently offer appropriate alternative products must make these products available to policyholders by end of 2025.
