Hong Kong Life Launches "Family Guardian Refundable Hospital Income Protection Plan" with Market-first Family Daily Hospital Income Benefit Providing 100% Premium Refund and additional No Claim Bonus upon Maturity

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 21 December 2022 - Unpredictable accidents and illnesses may incur high medical expenses and loss of income during hospitalization. Hong Kong Life Insurance Limited ("Hong Kong Life") launches the Family Guardian Refundable Hospital Income Protection Plan ("The Plan") with Daily Hospital Income and Intensive Care Benefit to alleviate the financial burden of the customers in case of hospitalization.

The Plan's first-in-market# feature offers Family Daily Hospital Income Benefit, under which both the Life Insured and the Covered Family Member can enjoy the protection of hospitalization in a single policy. Customers are entitled to a premium refund equivalent to 100% of the Total Premiums Paid upon maturity. An extra 3% of Total Premiums Paid will be paid as No Claim Bonus if no claim has been made during the Benefit Term.

Mr. Jonathan Ko, the Chief Marketing Officer of Hong Kong Life, said, "We understand that most customers are willing to strengthen their life and healthcare protection for both individual and family after the pandemic. Compared with most of the hospital income insurance plans in the market which mainly provide personal protection, Family Guardian Refundable Hospital Income Protection Plan is specially designed with family protection feature. The first-in-market# Family Daily Hospital Income Benefit showcases the customer-centric philosophy of Hong Kong Life. Customer and his designated family member are covered with daily hospital income protection by one premium budget, providing peace-of-mind for unexpected hospitalization expenses in case of emergencies."
