The central bank said the framework will address pricing transparency, cost drivers and long-term sustainability of medical coverage. Rising premiums have become a growing concern for consumers.

Industry observers say the initiative could improve accountability among insurers and healthcare providers. However, balancing affordability with industry viability will be a key challenge. The move reflects broader efforts to ensure financial protection for Malaysians while maintaining stability within the insurance sector.
