With AIA premium increase by 100+ again, is it still worth it?

U sure is not because your age band is different now?
No I'm still in same age band that's why it's not feeling good given that they only just increased not long ago.

It depends actually. If you are on the 100% coverage ISP, whichever provider you go now you will be subjected to co-payment/co-insurance even with rider.

Now if you are ok with that, the other pre-req is that you do not have any preexisting else it would be an issue!

If you are comfortable with forking out certain amount of $ in the event of hospitalisation and you are healthy, there are plenty of options for you :)

Yeah I'm still on 100% one of the main reason I didn't change but it seems like AIA just happily leverage on that fact to keep increasing premium?

I didn't check on other providers but if that's the case then
everyone is just going to take advantage of the situation.

Max Essential A rider. My premium is due end of year. The last increase I had was 1 or 2 years back when everyone still on 100%. And my age band is still the same. All citing increased hospital costs. Now is close to 1k

There’s always the option to switch to the 5% copay plans.

If you have a rider, it would be capped at $3k annually so your max out of cost annually would be $3k for medical cost if there is any unfortunate event:)
