If your medical card renewal landed higher this year, you're not alone, and you're not being singled out. Medical cost inflation in Malaysia has run well ahead of general inflation for years, and insurers have repriced to match. The reforms around co-payment are part of the response — and understanding them is how you keep cover you can afford.如果你今年的医疗卡续保更贵了，你并不孤单，也不是被针对。多年来，马来西亚的医疗成本通胀远高于一般通胀，保险公司随之重新定价。围绕共付的改革是应对的一部分 — 而读懂它们，正是你保住一份负担得起的保障的方法。Jika pembaharuan kad perubatan anda lebih tinggi tahun ini, anda tidak keseorangan. Inflasi kos perubatan di Malaysia jauh mendahului inflasi am bertahun-tahun, dan penanggung insurans menyemak harga. Pembaharuan co-payment sebahagian respons.
Medical and health insurance is regulated by Bank Negara Malaysia under the FSA 2013. BNM's December 2024 interim measures — in force until end-2026 — require repricing to be staggered over at least three years (about 80% of policyholders see yearly rises under 10%), pause inflation-driven rises for a year for those 60+ on minimum plans, and require insurers to offer co-payment and alternative products at the same or lower premium without re-underwriting. Eligible policies remain protected by PIDM. Specifics vary by insurer; read your policy schedule.医疗与健康保险由国家银行（BNM）依《2013 金融服务法令》监管。BNM 2024 年 12 月的过渡措施——有效期至 2026 年底——要求调价至少分三年摄入（约 80% 保单持有人每年涨幅低于 10%）；60 岁以上、持最低档保单者可暂缓一年因医疗通胀的调价；保险公司须提供共付与替代产品，保费相同或更低、无需重新核保。符合条件的保单仍受 PIDM 保障。细节因公司而异；请阅读你的保单明细表。Insurans perubatan dikawal Bank Negara Malaysia di bawah FSA 2013. Langkah interim BNM Disember 2024 — berkuat kuasa hingga akhir 2026 — mewajibkan penjadualan semula harga melebihi tiga tahun (kira-kira 80% pemegang polisi lihat kenaikan bawah 10% setahun), jeda setahun bagi 60+ pada pelan minimum, dan produk co-payment / alternatif tanpa pengunderaitan semula. Polisi layak kekal dilindungi PIDM.
01Why the premium moved保费为何上涨Mengapa premium bergerak
Three forces stack up: hospitals charging more per procedure, more claims being made, and longer lifespans meaning more years of cover. None of that is your fault, and switching insurers rarely escapes it — the inflation is industry-wide. What you can change is the structure of your plan.三股力量叠加：医院每项手术收费更高、理赔次数更多、寿命延长意味着更多年的保障。这些都不是你的错，换保险公司也很少能躲开 — 这种通胀是全行业的。你能改变的，是你保单的结构。Tiga daya bertimbun: hospital mengecas lebih, lebih banyak tuntutan, dan jangka hayat lebih panjang. Bukan salah anda, dan menukar penanggung jarang melepaskannya — inflasi seluruh industri. Yang boleh diubah ialah struktur pelan.
02Restructure before you cancel退保之前，先重组Struktur semula sebelum batal
A co-payment option can bring the premium down meaningfully in exchange for sharing a capped slice of each claim — sensible if you rarely make small claims and want to protect against the big ones. Adjusting your deductible, room-and-board tier, or riders can do the same. Cancelling outright, by contrast, leaves you exposed to the exact costs that are rising fastest.共付选项能在你分担每次理赔一小笔（有上限）的前提下，把保费明显压下来 — 如果你很少有小额理赔、想防的是大病，这很合理。调整你的自付额、病房等级或附加险，也能起到同样作用。相反，直接退保，会让你恰恰暴露在涨得最快的那些成本之下。Pilihan co-payment boleh menurunkan premium dengan ketara sebagai pertukaran berkongsi sebahagian berhad setiap tuntutan — munasabah jika anda jarang tuntutan kecil. Melaraskan deduktibel atau rider juga sama. Membatalkan terus mendedahkan anda kepada kos yang naik paling cepat.
The goal isn't the cheapest premium — it's the most cover you can hold onto for the years you'll actually need it.目标不是最便宜的保费 — 而是在你真正需要的那些年里，能一直握住的最大保障。Matlamatnya bukan premium termurah — tetapi perlindungan terbanyak yang boleh dikekalkan untuk tahun anda benar-benar memerlukannya.
03What changes after 20262026 之后会怎样Apa berubah selepas 2026
The interim measures expire at the end of 2026, and the longer-term reforms under the government's RESET programme take over: a standardised base medical plan covering essential care is being piloted in the second half of 2026 with full rollout in early 2027 — policyholders facing repricing will be able to switch to it with their current insurer, without new medical underwriting. Alongside it come DRG-style bundled hospital billing and published prices for common procedures. Practical takeaway: don't cancel a policy in 2026 out of premium shock — a cheaper, regulated landing option is arriving.过渡措施将于 2026 年底到期，接棒的是政府 RESET 计划下的长期改革：覆盖基本医疗需求的标准化基础医疗保单将于 2026 下半年试点、2027 年初全面推出 — 面临调价的保单持有人可在原保险公司无缝转换，无需重新核保。同步推进的还有 DRG 打包收费模式与常见手术价格公开。实用结论：别因 2026 年的保费冲击而贸然退保 — 一个更便宜、受监管的承接选项正在路上。Langkah interim tamat akhir 2026, dan pembaharuan jangka panjang di bawah program RESET mengambil alih: pelan perubatan asas piawai dirintis pada separuh kedua 2026 dengan pelancaran penuh awal 2027 — pemegang polisi yang menghadapi penetapan semula harga boleh bertukar kepadanya dengan penanggung sedia ada, tanpa pengunderaitan baharu. Turut datang bil hospital berkelompok gaya DRG dan penerbitan harga prosedur biasa. Kesimpulan praktikal: jangan batalkan polisi pada 2026 kerana kejutan premium — pilihan pendaratan lebih murah sedang tiba.
