Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme & Qualifying Deferred Annuity Policy

Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme

It is a kind of public medical insurance, which mainly protects the insured's hospitalization medical expenses, and the insured can enjoy tax deductions. The terms of voluntary health insurance "standard plan" products are determined by the government, so the VHIS products of various insurance companies have highly similar terms, setting minimum requirements for medical insurance products. On the basis of this, the "flexible plan" raises the upper limit of compensation for detailed items or adds additional medical protection to upgrade the protection.
