Objective This study aims to conduct a visual analysis of global medical insurance literature to understand the development status and research hotspots, providing a reference for future related research. Methods We utilized computer searches in the PubMed database and employed R code with the Bibliometrix package (R version 4.2.3) to analyze literature related to global medical insurance research from 2010 to 2024. The analysis covered various aspects, including annual publication trends, most relevant sources, most relevant authors, word cloud , trend topics, co-occurrence network, thematic map, factorial Analysis, and collaboration network. Results A total of 905 relevant articles were included in the analysis. Research on global "medical insurance" has exhibited three distinct phases: an initial phase (2010), a consolidation phase (2011-2017), and a rapid growth phase (2018-2024). Research on Chinese health insurance saw a significant increase starting in 2019, with a median publication year of 2021, and remains active through 2023. From 2020 to 2024, WU QUNHONG, TIAN GUOMEI, and SHAN LINGHAN emerged as the most prolific authors. Additionally, China maintains extensive collaborations with several countries, including the United States, Australia, and Canada. Conclusion The research landscape of global medical insurance is continuously evolving. Future research is expected to focus more on the sustainability of medical insurance, health equity, and international collaboration, providing more effective solutions for global health security.
