MetLife Targets The 1 in 10 People in Hong Kong Living With Diabetes.
MetLife Hong Kong has extended the scope of its “MetLife Health-is-Wealth Medical Plan” to include people living with diabetes, thanks in part to its partnership with Health2Sync, a mobile app that allows Diabetics to easily track their blood sugar along with factors that influence it.
“We’re delighted to make this pioneering offer to a new group of customers. It demonstrates MetLife Hong Kong’s commitment to listening and responding to the needs of our customers, especially as they look to prevent or manage diseases like diabetes. As our customers’ trusted advisor, we are dedicated to making universal medical protection accessible to this underserved group with innovative digital solutions to support them on their health journey” – MetLife CEO Lee Wood.
Now, consumers will gain access to Health2Sync and enjoy the following benefits:
– Premium rates based on health data
Using customer insights compiled from examinations and technology, MetLife Hong Kong can apply advanced risk metrics and classification to determine appropriate premium rates. Disciplined disease management behavior and better health will result in lower premium rates, providing greater value for our customers. The plan also allows adjustment to the premium after a 2-year period for those who have successfully maintained or reduced their HbA1c level.
– Access to technology to manage health proactively
MetLife Hong Kong is committed to cornerstone partnerships to help deliver digital solutions to support our customers. MetLife Hong Kong is delighted to be partnering with Health2Sync, which facilitates self-disciplined health management through its app and its data analytics engine. This pioneering integration of insurtech gives customers health self-management, going beyond conventional financial assurance.
– Value-added service included with the product
Diabetic mellitus retinopathy is the most common cause of vision loss among diabetic patients. In order to address this need, the plan will include a free Vision Care Benefit as a value-added service for our customers. Customers will enjoy full coverage for a comprehensive eye examination in the first policy year at designated professional eye-care centers.
