The Financial Supervisory Commission announced the implementation of new regulations for comprehensive medical insurance, including hospitalization and accident medical care, starting on July 1st. These reforms will eliminate the practice of multiple claims under different policies for the same medical procedure, ensuring that claims are based on the actual expenses incurred. The changes aim to prevent policyholders from profiting from illnesses and to return medical insurance to its original purpose of covering losses. With the new regulations, reimbursement will be based on the principle of filling the gap between the total medical expenses and the coverage limit of the policy.
