MetLife Borderless Best-in-Health Benefit
offers extensive medical coverage at affordable premiums and access
to treatment by top-rated overseas doctors and specialists
MetLife Hong Kong*, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.,
the #1 U.S. life insurer^, announced the launch of its brand new
MetLife Borderless Best-in-Health Benefit, which provides seamless
overseas access to world-class medical advice and treatment.
Because of the company’s strong commitment to the wellbeing of
its customers, MetLife Hong Kong has enhanced its two most popular
medical reimbursement products in Hong Kong -– MetLife
Health-is-Wealth Medical Plan and MetLife Health-on-the-Peak
Medical Plan. With these upgrades, MetLife Hong Kong has enhanced
its portfolio of medical products to meet the diverse health needs
of consumers.
Mr. Hamilton Yuen, Head of Product Development of MetLife Hong
Kong, said, “Medical advances help people enjoy longer, better
lives. At MetLife Hong Kong, we have always been committed to
empowering our customers to enjoy life by offering diverse and
innovative products tailored to address their needs. Our MetLife
Borderless Best-in-Health Benefit is designed to provide more
choices, ready access and comprehensive coverage for superior
medical treatment overseas. This plan offers access to top-rated
specialists, and ensures that individuals can receive top-notch
medical care with total peace of mind. This is especially important
given that cutting-edge technologies and leading treatment options
may not be available locally.”
MetLife Borderless Best-in-Health Benefit gives customers a
gateway to world-class medical advice and treatment for covered
illnesses at affordable premiums through Best Doctors®. The
plan:
- Connects customers to the best-in-class
overseas medical experts for a case review and consultation to
provide second medical opinions
- Covers treatment by a top-rated
specialist for covered illnesses, and includes travel and
accommodation for the customer and a companion
- Pays for overseas medical treatment
costs, as well as travel and accommodation expenses, up to a
lifetime maximum limit of HK$32 million/US$4 million for the VIP
Plan Level and HK$16 million/US$2 million for the Standard Plan
Level.
Regarding the recent enhancements to the two medical
reimbursement products, Mr. Yuen commented, “As customer needs
continue to evolve, we not only seek unique and innovative
insurance solutions with products, but also work to improve on our
existing offerings. Our commitment is to consistently respond to
our customers’ needs and address their health and wellness
concerns. This is exactly what we have done by enhancing our very
popular Health-on-the-Peak and Health-is-Wealth medical
products.”
For the MetLife Health-is-Wealth Medical Plan, MetLife Hong Kong
has added the Vision Care Benefit, a value-added service provided
through the optical network of VSP® Vision Care. Customers can
enjoy a comprehensive eye examination in the first policy year to
check for underlying eye diseases. The comprehensive eye
examination includes intra-ocular pressure measurement, ocular
health assessment and fundus examination, consultation and
recommendation. A summary of the optometrist’s clinical findings
and observations from the examination, including retinal photos,
will be provided upon request, which is free of charge.
The addition of the Vision Care Benefit to the MetLife
Health-is-Wealth Medical Plan marks a new milestone in MetLife’s
product strategy to help customers in chronic disease prevention
and management. Thorough eye examinations are essential as a
preventive measure for maintaining overall health and wellness.
Underlying conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol and
diabetes can be identified at the earliest opportunity.
In addition, MetLife Hong Kong has expanded MetLife
Health-on-the-Peak Medical Plan, a uniquely designed plan tailored
to provide extensive coverage to ensure access to top-quality,
advanced medical services with high coverage limits. In response to
market demand, the plan now covers three different geographic
regions: worldwide coverage (including the U.S.), worldwide
coverage (excluding the U.S.), and Asia-wide coverage.
