Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance announced on August 24 that it has obtained exclusive rights for six months for two new coverage options: one for maternal chorionic villus and amniotic fluid testing costs, and another for antiviral treatment for major viral diseases.
The coverage for chorionic villus and amniotic fluid testing is available under the 'Good & Good Children's Comprehensive Insurance Q' plan, which provides up to 700,000 won for the first instance of testing after an abnormal finding in prenatal screening. This test checks for chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus, but since it is not covered by insurance, the financial burden on mothers can be significant.
The antiviral treatment coverage is part of the 'Good & Good 1540 Comprehensive Insurance' plan. It offers annual benefits for those diagnosed with viral diseases such as chickenpox, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), shingles, and hepatitis, provided they are prescribed covered antiviral medications.
Previously, individuals had to enroll in separate plans for each disease, but this new coverage consolidates 37 antiviral medications used for major viral diseases into one plan.
A representative from Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance stated, “We will continue to expand coverage that reduces the financial burden of medical expenses for our customers in line with changes in demographics and healthcare environments.”
