A comprehensive insurance plan for inbound foreign nationals was unveiled on Nov 7 at the ninth China International Import Expo in Shanghai. The plan seeks to integrate medical treatment, emergency rescue, claims handling, and cross-border coordination into a single service system for foreign nationals during their stay in China.

The plan covers medical expenses resulting from accidents and sudden acute illness. Eligible expenses include services both within and outside China's basic medical insurance catalog, including those typically paid out of pocket. Its hospital network spans secondary and tertiary hospitals across China, with access to VIP clinics and international departments.

The plan also streamlines the entire service process, connecting enrollment, claims reporting, medical treatment, and claims settlement into one integrated process.

Support is available in English, French, Italian, and other languages. Additional services include advance claims payments, patient accompaniment services, and expedited assistance.

The plan was jointly launched by China Pacific Life Insurance and the Shanghai Services Federation.
