AIA Hong Kong today announced the launch of AIA VHIS Prime Scheme, the Company's second certified “Flexi Plan” under the Government's Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS). AIA VHIS Prime Scheme features a number of competitive medical benefits: no itemised benefit sublimit for major hospitalisation and surgical expenses, application for full reimbursement of major medical expenses, Lifetime Benefit Limit up to HK$20 million, and extensive geographical cover throughout Asia including Australia and New Zealand¹.
