21 Over the last years Chinese government extended the public health insurance coverage to >90% of population Chinese population split: insured by social schemes, 2011 Millions people +113% Urban employed Urban not employed Rural , Public insurance scheme UEBMI 1 mandatory insurance for urban employees. Most comprehensive scheme Funded by employers and employees (6% and 2% respectively) Annual premium ~USD URBMI 1 for urban not employed (aged, students etc.) Annual premium ~ USD NRCMS - New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) - local (at county level) voluntary insurance schemes Subsidized by the central and local government and individuals Annual premium ~USD Currently almost the total population is publicly insured. This is the result of 2011 reforms to expand the access to healthcare However, public coverage still remains insufficient and copayments and deductibles are high. There are significant regional variations in premium contributions and level of coverage The strong gap in coverage between UEBMI and other schemes will further persist due to disparities in economic development Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance; Urban Residence Basic Medical Insurance Source: KPMG 21

22 Private Health Insurance Market in China Private health insurance premium has been growing at 27% CAGR* for the last ten years, estimated premium reaching 10 billion USD in year 2010 as compared to less than 1 billion USD in year 2000, the market still has significant potential to grow considering its 1.3 billion population and high level of OOP** (37%). In terms of premium income, group business contributes about 30% of total, however plagued with high loss ratio due to competitive pricing mainly as accommodation for group life business. Major part of PHI market still consists of simple lump sum products predominantly attached as life rider, existing complementary reimbursement products to social insurance only contain limited extra coverage, comprehensive high-end products are available but at high price Governmental health reform plans foresee an advanced role of the PHI industry in Chinese population health coverage Provision of care is still dominated by public facilities with outpatient care often being provided in hospitals, no General Physician structure in place. * Compounded Annual Growth Rate ** Out of Pocket Payment ^ Consultative Reinsurance 22

23 Government tries to revamp the provision system, but the role of public providers is still dominant System of healthcare provision Chinese healthcare provision Outpatient Inpatient Source: KPMG, Press Government health centers (CHC, MCH, THC) Governmental hospitals (90%of hospitals) Private hospitals (10% of, 7% of beds) Characteristics Disproportionate of healthcare resources coverage between rural and urban areas: Hospital beds and personnel coverage in cities is 2 times higher than in rural areas. Still, large hospitals in big cities are usually are overcrowded, which leads to long waiting times Despite waiting times overtreatment and overdrugging are big problems. Due to strong position of public hospitals ~60% of total healthcare costs are drugs, which is extremely high compared to other countries The reform plans are to establish community health centers (CHC) in urban areas and small hospitals with higher standards in rural areas. However, many of them were converted from previous category 1 and 2 (poor quality) hospitals. Local governments are investing to upgrade their facilities and make them attractive The core bottle-neck is GP shortage. Even if investment takes place, the shortage won t be resolved for a long period. That is also one of the reason of a slow development of private hospitals Cost control in public hospitals is impossible and physician-induced demand is high Private wings of government hospitals play an important role on the market they connect high expertise of public doctors with better service level Pure private hospitals (many of them are specialty hospitals, e.g., dental) Implications for private health insurance industry Current provision level in public institutions provides little incentive to purchase PHI (restricted benefits, relatively low-cost treatment etc.) Public hospitals have a monopolistic position and therefore, high bargaining power. Difficulty to control costs makes it hardly feasible for an insurer to manage profitability Waiting times are long Bribery or gifts for doctors plays a big role in provider access If there is a critical mass of private providers available, products for upper middle class / HNWI may be attractive 23

24 Co-ins. Examples of Funding Systems Singapore MSA Plan Singapore: Central Provident Fund (CPF) Insurance cover Out-of pocket / self-insurance High risk cover MediShield (national low-cost CAT. scheme), Integrated Private Medical Insurance Scheme (IPMIS) & PHI Premiums can be funded by MSA (MediSave) account, but subject to an annual limit MediShield only open to citizens and permanent residents, covers till 85 years old, opt-out scheme. With 0.9 million insured in 2008 IPMIS is a top-up scheme that supplements MediShield, with life time cover and higher benefits. With 1.9 million insured in 2008 PHI with higher benefits (as riders to IPMIS) than MediShield and IPMIS Deductible Deductibles are paid out of pocket. Medical Savings Account MediSave (since 1984) Mandatory national healthcare scheme 4-8% of salary contribution payable from both employee and employer Cannot withdraw money except for paying medical bills and health insurance premiums Till 2008 there has been 2.9 million MediSave enrollees (70+% of population), with around S$ 42.4 billion assets pool Average balance in the MediSave accounts of employees is S$ 19,500 (USD 13,800) and around S$ 25,000 (USD 17,700) at age 55 (in 2008) 24

28 Imbalances between health care demand and funding lead to the growing role of private health insurance Imbalances in the health sector Growing role of the private health insurance Medical cost and needs strongly grow due to: Economic development Demography and lifestyles Supply and demand factors Health systems design (low incentives for cost reduction) Available financing is often not sufficient due to: Overall worsening of public finances (debt crisis, slow economic growth) Size of health expenditure reaching critical size of >10% GDP in many countries Slow population growth In Beveridge markets Public investment in medical facilities will be constantly below population needs Government can not indefinitely increase taxes In Bismarck markets Government will accelerate transfer of costs to private insurers through benefit cuts and co-pays increase In emerging markets Economic development will lead to constant increase of customer expectations Economic development will generate capacity for purchasing private health insurance Out-of-pocket Private health insurance Public-funded expenditures Source: MH 28

29 Vicious circle of health care demand and supply drives cost 1 Economic development Demand 2 generates strong demand growth for health care services 4 which leads to increasing demand 3 which leads to development of supply Supply The challenge is to ensure equal access and quality of health care but to keep it affordable both for the patients and for the government Source: MH 29

35 Private health insurance market development offers new growth opportunities Examples of growth opportunities for private health insurance Spain "Privatization" of system in dedicated regions offering opportunities for PHI under prepaid medicine models (close from staff model HMO). Germany Recent decision to not introduce Bürgerverischerung and stabilisation of system should accelerate development of PHI complementary products Russia New regulation (improve solvency of PHI players) potentially open door for foreigner investors. Huge need for private inpatient / primary care hospitals / clinics China Huge economic boom leading to growing customer expectations in health care. Government supports development of PHI to improve access and quality of health. Development of private supply. USA Ownership society/ medicare modernization act opens up a large segment of the population for private plans WORLDWIDE Explosion of health care expenditures leading to urgent reforms, new public / private partnership opens opportunities for business ventures. GCC Demographic boom. Increasing health care spend forces government to implement an efficient health care system with external support shifting health care from to private insurance India Huge economic boom leading to growing customer expectations in health care. Policy changes with respect to capital requirements, solvency norms, investment guidelines, and other regulatory measures for growth of standalone health insurance companies expected to come up Australia Privatization of key PHI players (Medibank) or demutualisation of other PHI.
