Chubb launches Group Critical Illness Cover in Hong Kong SAR

HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach -
26 February 2020 - Chubb announced the launch of Group Critical Illness Insurance
in Hong Kong SAR.
With rising medical inflation, ensuring
sufficient coverage for critical illnesses is challenging and gaps are likely
to emerge. Employers stepping up to fill this gap will be seen as employers of
choice with a strong commitment to care for their employees.

 

Chubb's Group Critical Illness Insurance has been designed to provide varying
levels of protection to cater to different needs. The plan has pre-set age
bands with fixed premiums without variation for gender or the need to declare
existing medical conditions. This facilitates easy purchase by employers so
they can protect their employees.

at HKD100,000, HKD200,000 and HKD300,000

critical illnesses or 36 critical illnesses

Stanley Wong, President of Chubb's general insurance business in Hong
Kong SAR said, "Increasing advances in medical technology mean that most
diseases can be cured. However, the surging costs of the latest treatment and
medicine can be a heavy burden to many. By providing protection for
employees beyond the traditional coverage for death and disability, a
responsible and caring employer will certainly have an edge over others."
