- "HSBC Life invested 160 million on health technology, reduces medical claims from 5 days to 5 minutes" as released by Sing Tao on 15 May 2023.
- Only policyholders and their spouses who are Hong Kong taxpayers are eligible for tax deduction. Tax deduction for qualifying premiums paid under a VHIS policy (excluding levy) will be based on the premiums paid after deducting the premium discount, if any. Your actual tax savings may be lower than the amount in the example, as each case is determined by the Inland Revenue Department. For more information, please visit www.ird.gov.hk or seek independent tax advice.
- Claims paid ratio is calculated as total claims amount paid divided by total claims amount incurred (after the consideration of any deductible and/or claims amount paid by first insurers for second claims, if applicable) in local currency, of the approved cases in 2022.
- Pre-existing condition(s) shall mean, in respect of the insured person, any sickness, disease, injury, physical, mental or medical condition or physiological degradation, including congenital condition, that has existed prior to the policy issuance date or the policy effective date, whichever is earlier. Unknown pre-existing condition(s) refers to any pre-existing condition(s) that the policy holder and/or insured person was not aware and would not reasonably have been aware of at the time of application. Application is subject to HSBC Life. Please refer to the policy provisions for the full terms and conditions.
- Medical Concierge Service is not a part of the policy in respect of HSBC VHIS. For more details, please refer to the detailed terms and conditions.
- The age refers to the age you were on your last birthday.
- Worldwide shall mean no geographical limitation, except for psychiatric treatment which is applicable to Hong Kong only.
- Eligible expenses incurred in other areas worldwide shall be covered according to the VHIS Standard Plan terms and benefits. Greater China shall mean mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Asia shall mean Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Greater China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Tajikistan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.

Please refer to the additional benefit provisions endorsement for more details.
- The total premiums paid refers to the total amount of premiums due and paid for the basic plan as of the policy termination date, subject to the terms of the policy. It is for the calculation of the death benefit and net cash value. It excludes any aggregate premium balance and non-guaranteed interest accumulated under the policy unless and until such part of the premium is actually due and paid on that date.
- Full coverage refers to the actual amount of eligible expenses and other expenses that are charged and payable per the terms and benefits of this policy.
- Each taxpayer is allowed to claim a tax deduction for his or her qualifying deferred annuity premiums up to a maximum limit of HKD60,000 per assessment year, which is an aggregate of qualifying deferred annuity premiums and Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) tax-deductible voluntary contributions. In addition, each taxpayer who or whose spouse is the policyholder of a policy issued under a certified plan of Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS) may claim tax deductions for the premiums paid up to HKD8,000 per insured person per assessment year. The amount of tax deduction in this example assumes a taxpayer paying premiums (excluding levy and discount) of HKD60,000 for qualifying deferred annuity policy (QDAP) and of HKD8,000 under VHIS during the year of assessment. The amounts are for illustrative purposes only. The actual amounts of tax deductible and/or saving depend on the personal circumstances, and may be different from the amounts illustrated.
