The plans have been developed in partnership with Allianz China General Insurance Company.

It follows the launch of a range of corporate healthcare plans and the establishment of a dedicated health insurance support centre in the Pudong district of Shanghai in 2012.

Customers will have a choice of three core plans, covering a wide range of in-patient and day-care treatments, along with other benefits such as medical evacuation, diagnostic tests and oncology treatment.

The core plan can be supplemented by optional plans offering cover for out-patients, maternity, and health and wellbeing treatment.

There are also two optional dental plans providing cover for general dental treatment, dental surgery, and orthodontics.

Michael Li, chief executive at Allianz China General Insurance Company, said: “The importance of private health insurance and access to private local and international medical facilities is widely recognised, particularly given China’s overcrowded public hospital system.”

Claude Daboul, director of sales, marketing, and operations at Allianz Worldwide Care, added: “Shanghai, has a population of approximately 24 million, and market insights indicated a growing demand for cover which gives individuals and their families access to private and international medical facilities.

In December last year, Allianz Worldwide Care unveiled the Allianz Corporate Assistance Services, a package of corporate assistance services aimed at business travellers and expatriate employees of multinational companies.
