Within the next 5 years, medical costs are expected to rise by 12.7%*. This may leave Malaysians, particularly millennials, ill-equipped to foot soaring medical bills, should they need hospitalization or surgery.

With this in mind and to ensure that millennials have ample protection as they take their first step towards independence, AXA AFFIN Life Insurance Berhad has launched Malaysia’s first-in-the-market online Medical Card to help millennials comprising young professionals and young families to be prepared for life’s surprises.

AXA eMedic offers a fast, easy and affordable Medical Card for Malaysians aged between 16 to 39 years for as low as RM37/month for coverage up to RM100,000 per year. This is renewable up to the age of 80. Three different plans are being offered with an annual limit of RM20,000, RM50,000 or RM100,000.

Exactly 2 months after eMedic was launched, a second phase was rolled out with the medical plan being extended to children. To ensure the sustainability of eMedic, a focus on newer segments is crucial. As the earlier focus was on millennials comprising of young families, it is only natural to roll out the extension of eMedic for children as the target proposition. The extension to provide medical coverage for expatriates and their families follow suit shortly.

Following the successful roll-out of different phases, AXA eMedic is now made available for Malaysians and non-Malaysians (residing in Malaysia) aged as young as 15 days – 39 years old. The price remains affordable and competitive from as low as RM32/month.
