Get insured Matilda Clinic in the heart of Midlevels This is where health insurance comes in handy. If you don’t have an all-inclusive family health insurance package courtesy of your – or your partner’s – high-flying career, you may wish to consider investing in a plan of your own or topping up the plan that your company has included in your benefits package. Kwiksure Insurance, a leading insurance agency in Hong Kong, offers different types of health insurance plans to cater for all people, based on their specific needs. According to Christian Moore, Business Development Manager at Kwiksure, a family of four with dad age 36, mum age 34, and kids ages five and three, for example, could have the security a nd peace of mind that health insurance gives for as little as $2,000 per month, depending on the coverage required. Plans such as Generali Prestigio, Cigna HealthFirst Elite and William Russell Elite FMU all offer the best value in the current market, says Christian. “Unlike local plans, these plans will cover the costs up to what is considered reasonable instead of putting a cap on each type of treatment/surgery,” he explains. He adds that the Generali policy offer has the best value maternity coverage on the market right now. Whatever your budget and personal definition of affordability, the beauty of Hong Kong’s medical landscape is that high quality treatment is acces- sible to all. Whether you choose to go public, private, down the NGO route or you use a medley of all, don’t assume that you’ll have to dig deep into your pockets. Do your homework, ask around, and you’ll discover a myriad of medical options to suit your budget.
