美国医疗保险商登陆中国市场http://www.sina.com.cn 2006年10月18日 02:44 北京商报
A U.S. health-care company says it has won approval to offer Chinese citizens a comprehensive medical-insurance package——the first of its kind in China. The move represents a breakthrough in a country where two-thirds of the population has no health insurance, and where existing private health-care policies offered by companies like American International Group are so limited that even those insured can sometimes face crippling out-of-pocket expenses. Chindex International Inc., a Nasdaq-listed company that runs the United Family Hospitals and Clinics network in Beijing and Shanghai, will offer the package through a Chinese state-run insurance broker, according to its president and chief executive, Roberta Lipson. The new program will allow foreign and Chinese employers in China to offer the same health-care benefits to all their employees, both local and expatriate. 'It levels the playing field,' Ms. Lipson said. 美国医疗保健公司美中互利工业公司表示,已获准为中国公民提供医疗保险综合服务,从而将此类服务首次引入中国。 这在中国是一个重大的突破。中国有2/3的人口未投保医疗保险,市面上虽然有美国国际集团等供应商提供的医疗保险,但保单覆盖面非常狭窄,以至于保单持有者有时也会面临难以承受自付的医疗费用。 美中互利工业公司CEO兼总裁李碧菁表示,该公司将通过一家中国国营的保险经纪公司销售医疗保险。该公司是一家在纳斯达克上市的企业,在北京和上海经营和睦家医院。 新服务可使中国的内外资企业为所有员工(不论是国内员工还是外籍员工)提供相同的医疗保障。李碧菁表示,所有人都将一视同仁。 董 莉
