Notes:
1. This table highlights products with limited claim experience, indicating potential data volatility and reliability. Metrics for these medical insurance plans have lesser claim experience data so it may not accurately represent the actual healthcare utilization and costs.
2. Policyholders should review these metrics cautiously and refer to the company-level healthcare metrics to better understand the medical inflation and utilization trends in order to make an informed decision.
3. Utilisation Rate = 0 represents that there is no claim or less than 1 per 1,000 claim incidence.
4. Average Claim Amount = 0 represents the product has less than 1 year of exposure or was repriced less than 1 year in latest experience study time-frame.
5. "N/A" refers to products with no exposure.
