A study warns that medical claims paid by Hong Kong insurers could double in a decade, raising sustainability concerns. Claims rose over 60% from 2019 to 2023, driven by inpatient bills, particularly for day procedures. Total reimbursements reached HK$17.73 billion in 2023. Industry leaders urge prudent claims filing to avoid premium increases, while suggesting a review of the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme's regulatory framework to address rising costs. The ageing population complicates efforts to reverse the trend, prompting calls for stakeholder discussions on managing growth in medical claims.

According to recent research from within the insurance industry, personal insurance companies have successively begun to implement suitability management for insurance products and sales personnel. In particular, as a preliminary procedure for suitability management and a firewall against product mismatch, the action of "labeling" insurance products by classification has been widely adopted across the industry—insurance products or specific information disclosures have updated their product classification and grading information. After classifying and grading insurance products, the industry is expected to further implement "seller responsibility" and promote the exploration and implementation of graded sales personnel.
