The 'Family Doctor' program includes 24/7 health consultations with doctors online, easy access to high-quality nationwide medical resources covering more than 2,700 hospitals and other extended online-to-offline medical assistance.
Additionally, 'Family Doctor Insurance' members can enjoy discounts on booking early cancer detection tests via JD's platform. Moreover, they will be rewarded with shopping points (JD beans) on JD.com if they accomplish daily health-management tasks suggested by their family doctors on JD Health.
'By extending health insurance service to the front of the health management process, we hope this 'Family Doctor Insurance' will truly help many Chinese families to have less diseases, get earlier and better medical treatment, and avoid critical illnesses at an affordable cost,' Xin added.
