Formula Used

The medical card assessment is calculated using a weighted scoring system that considers:

• Age (younger applicants score higher)
• Gender (some cards have gender-specific benefits)
• Card type (different cards offer different coverage levels)
• Annual income (higher income may qualify for more comprehensive coverage)

The final assessment is then categorized into one of three levels: Basic, Standard, or Premium coverage.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example calculation:

For a 35-year-old female applying for a Silver Card with an annual income of $45,000:

1. Age Score = 35 (younger ages score higher)
2. Gender Score = 2 (females score higher for some cards)
3. Card Type Score = 3 (Silver Card offers higher coverage)
4. Income Score = 4 (higher income qualifies for better coverage)

This score would typically qualify for Premium coverage level.

Interpreting Results

The calculator provides three possible coverage levels:

• Basic Coverage: Limited benefits and lower premiums
• Standard Coverage: Balanced benefits and premiums
• Premium Coverage: Comprehensive benefits and higher premiums

Based on your assessment, you should consider whether the coverage level meets your needs. If you're eligible for Premium coverage but only need Basic benefits, you might want to explore lower-cost options.
