What Is Kaiser Long Term Health Care?

What Is Kaiser Long Term Health Care?

Kaiser Long Term Health is a Medical Insurance that aims to give you a financial support for your health when you get old.

Disclaimer: I am a member of IMG (International Marketing Group), accredited broker of Kaiser, and I earn for every policy that we can close. We consider Long Term Health Care as level 1 of Financial Freedom and Financial Peace.  You are suggested to ask question through this blog so that I can increase the Q&A Part of this post.

General Notes
1.)    Kaiser’s Long Term Plan Health Care program is focused on four key areas:

  1. Healthcare Program
  2. Healthcare Savings
  3. Insurance Benefit
  4. Emergency Fund

2.)    Non Phil health Member should pay the Phil health coverage payment before using Kaiser. So it is necessary to be a Phil health Member.

3.)    Lifetime Network access to over 500 hospitals and over 1,000 doctors as long as you have funds. ( Accredited Partners )

4.)    A total of Php 2,500 is required as Policy Fee but can be paid on a yearly basis of 500 per year.

5.)    Payment can be made on 5 options.

  • Monthly
  • Semi Annually
  • Quarterly
  • Annually
  • Spot Cash

6.)    Kaiser Long Term Health Care is a combination of Health Insurance, Term life, Investment, Low Monthly cost, Cash Value Guaranteed, Death Benefit and More.

Updates : Low Monthly cost shall mean that monthly payment for policy is low compared to others..

Additional Info : Cash Value can only be guaranteed if the plan holder didn’t utilize the plan and returns in the extended period were all 10%, if the return/s within extended period dropped to 7%(minimum) the cash value will also be adjusted.

7.)    Plan will be lapsed for non-payments, 60 days after due date (grace period). With 2 years allowance for policy reinstatement due to plan lapsed.

More on grace period: Let’s say you’re paying monthly and your due is on May 10, your next due date is June 10. If you were not able to pay on June 10 it will lapse after July 10. From May 10 to July 10 that is what we mean by 60 days.

8.) The policy is for individual use only.However a family assistance is possible upon approval.Family assistance is not included in the contract.

9.)    Long Term Health Care is only applicable from 10 Years Old – up to 60 Years Old. Suggested Plans as follows:

  1. Ages 10 – 40 is K45 as minimum
  2. Ages 41 – 50 is K60 as minimum
  3. Ages 51 –  60 is K75 as minimum

Accumulation Period

1.)    This is the time were you are paying your policy. It can also be referred as the paying period. It has a total of 7 years.

2.)    This is also the period were you are covered with a fixed amount of Annual benefit limit. As an example if you choose a K60 plan, it means that you have a 60,000 Annual benefit Limit, if you choose K100, then you could have a 100,000 annual benefit limit.

3.)    If the planholder dies w/in Accumulation Period, his/her principal beneficiary named in the contract shall be substituted as the new member but with no longer insurance benefit.

4.)    Pre Existing Illness- Planholder shall not be covered during accumulation period. However,  all pre-existing illnesses are covered during the extended period, long-term care period and extended benefit balance period which can be charged to the annual health benefits, total health benefits and annual lifetime healthcare benefits respectively. (Pre Existing Illness)

5.)    Members can enjoy the Medical and Dental Benefits with no effect to Your Long Term Health Care Bonus. (Medical and Health Benefits)

6.)    Should there be no claim made during this period, members will avail the Long Term Care Benefits at the end of 20th year.

7.)    Members is covered with Term Life Insurance during this period.

8.)    The room and board benefit is covered only during the Accumulation period. During the Extended period your room and board will be charged to your unused Yearly Health Benefits.

Extended Period

1.)    Extended period starts at the end of the 7th year

2.)    This is when the 10% of your plan is given on a yearly basis as your benefit limit and is rolled over with an interest ranging from 7% (Minimum) to 10% (Maximum). As an example if you have K50, therefore 10% of 50,000 is 5,000. The policy holder will be given a 5,000 Annual Benefit limit which could be claim thru reimbursement.

3.)    Unused yearly health benefits is being accumulated if it is not used.

4.)    If the planholder dies w/in Extended Period, the contract shall be considered terminated and his/her beneficiary named in the contract shall be entitled to the corresponding cash value.

5.)    Members is covered with Term Life Insurance during this period.

Long Term Care Period

1.)    Members will be given a Visa Card that he can use for anyone, anywhere and anything.

2.)    Long Term care period starts at the end of 20th Year

3.)    Long Term Care bonus maybe acquired if there is no claim maid during the accumulation period. The total amount can be withdrawn or added

4.)    Members enjoy his investments during the Accumulation period.

My Take:

1.)    This is really good for OFW specially to those OFW in countries where medical benefits is covered. The payment to be paid will serve as an investment in preparation for the future, especially when we get old.

2.)    OFW will normally not be able to use this in the accumulation period since they are abroad. But what happen when the OFW is now 65 years or retiring age? Then this will help them to cope up with the high cost health care.

  4. I have just started to become an IMG broker. This site Q&A is very well-informed. Is it okay if I copy the contents to a blog I will be starting too?

    Appreciate your kind confirmation. I respect if it is not possible.

    Thank you!

  5. As I always say to my friend who invited me to IMG, I will forever thank her.
    Teachings of IMG ( thru webinars as we are abroad) changed our lives as couple..I noticed a happier marriage and more peace of mind. These positve mindsets and habits we learned we model to our children & asking Gods guidance as they grow.
    As couple we are guided thru having mentors and that we found in IMG. I fully understood the need of having a family protection and health care protection. For me its one way of showing care to our family. Thanks God my negative mindset abt term insurance and health care is changed.
    And one of the best decision we have is taking our Kaiser. So far i dont encounter any problems or issues. I can see my payment history updated as well.
    My thoughts for young couples : focus on our dreams rather than on the obstacles. Our dream is bigger than our fear. ♡ having health care with HMO is a need. And financial planning early means
    bigger dreams for our children.
    God bless us all.. i hope my thoughts may help.
    Sharing is caring.

  6. i have been attending IMG coaching here in Baguio and i am really interested and convinced that ishould have a kaiser health care but my husband searched the web, he read negative comments. how can i be sure that those are not true

    • Some of the negative comments that are being seen in the net happens because of wrong communication. It is very important that your upline or MD knows what he is doing and he/she could explain to you properly the risk/gain of this investment. Nobody can be sure in the future and definitely no Investment has no Risk, I suggest learning first the system before joining.

  7. Can you please site some advantages or disadvantages on getting Kaiser’s long-term health insurance when you are still 21 years old?

    I do appreciate your honest response.
    Thanks.

    • Sabi po nila mas maaga tayong mag impok mas maganda. Kaya kung ako ang iyong tatanungin mas maaga kang makakuha ng Kaiser mas maganda. Disadvantage? maaring sa iyong edad ang maging disadvantage ay ang pambayad. Sapagkat maaring wala ka pang trabaho na maganda or mapagkukunan na ipambabayad sa kaiser. Ngunit maari din naman sa pamamagitan ng Kaiser ay magkaroon ka ng additiona na income. Send me message sa Contact Us section namin

  8. Hi po, tapos ko na yng 5 years na policy payments (K100), ano po ba ang next step na gagawin namin? how many years po ba ang kailangan antayin? Pag kinuha na ba namin yng Cash Value for example after 6years e may makukuha pa kami sa 7th year?

  9. Hello po kung kukuha ba ng Kaiser at ayaw monang tapusin ang pagbabayad ano pong mangyatari SA pera Na Na invest po. Hindi ko naba yun makukuha or marerefund PA ba yun.

    • Stated po sa policy ang percentage na marerecover mo. Actually it will be very less compared to your invested money since part of your investment is already paid for insurance premiums.

  10. I started paying my premiums on August 2014 till date, just want to know if decide to discontinue the policy, will I be able to get full refund of all the payments made?

    • Di po nyo makukuha ang full refund stated po sa policy ang percentage na makukuha nyo if ever na idiscontinue nyo ang pag babayad

  11. Hi, meron po bang cancellation policy? for example, bayaran ko napo 1 year tapos hindi ko na kayang bayaran the next year due to some reason and e-withdraw ko na lng yung policy. Ano po ba mkukuha ko?

    • Very less na po ang makukuha nyo dyan, next to nothing.. Kasi po by that time part of your payment has already been paid for your insurance

  13. Hello,

    Natapos ko na bayaran ung 5 months paying period ng Policy Plan K-35 ko. I started September 2010. So bale 6 years na po sya ngayon. I migrated to France 2 years ago, and I never used Kaiser. Auto deduct lang sya sa bank ko and natetsek ko sya sa site.

    1. For it to mature at para mas mataas cash value to recover, I need to wait 10 years tama? (mejo nalimutan ko na yung naexplain sakin nung friend ko). Some says 15 years. But pede ko ba kunin ang cashvalue as of now and not wait for the maturity date? Can I know where to find the calculations? Or I need to open a ticket para magtanong how much pede ko makuha pag winithraw ko na sya lets sya this year.

    2. Dahil nasa ibang bansa ako, naisip ko baka pede ko nalang intransfer yung account sa family member ko, saying my mom who is in Philippines. Pra magamit nya yung binayaran ko na di ko magamit ngaun. How to do this? I need to file a ticket sa support din?
    Thanks sa reply
