When the insured with illness or injury receive medical treatments such as hospital stay, out-patient care or prescription drugs, PHI compensates the loss caused by actual medical expenses (i.e. copayment rate of NHIS reimbursement items plus 100% copayment rate of non-reimbursement items).
Currently, PHI plans are divided into four segments as follows depending on the characteristics of the insured such as age and medical history: (1) Standard plan, (2) Old-age plan, (3) Underlying-condition plan and (4) Overseas-travel plan.
