Chubb Life Hong Kong Launches Critical Illness Plans with Market-First Features and Broader Protection for Customers with Diverse Health Needs
With private healthcare costs in Hong Kong ranked the second highest in the world1, continuous critical illness protection against recurring or subsequent major illnesses remains increasingly crucial.

Chubb Care Critical Illness Series addresses these varied health profiles through four distinct options:
- Chubb Every Care Critical Illness Insurance Plan ("Chubb Every Care"): Designed for healthy individuals, with coverage for 146 illnesses and up to 800% protection2.
- Chubb Cancer / Cardio / Diabetes Care Critical Illness Insurance Plan ("Chubb Cancer/ Cardio/ Diabetes Care"): Designed for cancer survivors, individuals with cardiovascular disease and those with well-controlled diabetes respectively with a simplified underwriting approach, offering up to 300% protection3 for up to 128 illnesses4.
The series is designed for customers with different health needs and encompasses groundbreaking first-in-market5 features including:
- Flexible payout options: Offers a standby cash option for an additional 100% of the sum assured, or an ongoing protection option for continuing coverage up to 5 additional claims under Chubb Every Care.

Chubb Life Hong Kong is committed to delivering forward-looking health solutions that respond directly to our customers' evolving needs."
