Clements Worldwide partners with Starr China

Clements Worldwide, a global provider of international insurance products and reinsurance capabilities, has announced the launch of a partnership with Starr China to deliver insurance coverage to expatriates and international organisations in China.

Starr China is joining forces with Clements to target the international individual and group segment in this growing insurance market. Starr China, under licence by Clements Worldwide, will introduce Clements Scholars, a group health programme for expatriate educators and school staff, to serve the international school community in China.

“China has one of the world’s largest number of international schools, with more than 300 educational institutions employing expatriate teachers and personnel,” said Chris Beck, president of Clements Worldwide. “China is a fantastic market for Clements Scholars. The program is already recognized for helping teachers and staff access medical facilities, top providers and resources around the world. With Starr China’s local market leadership, Clements Scholars will soon be the reference in China as well.”

Starr China and Clements Worldwide seek to provide insurance coverage to the estimated 633,000 expats living in China. The partnership affords expatriates access to more choices for international health and other insurance products, addressing the rising costs of medical care at private clinics used by foreigners in China.
