International Medical Insurance
Medical costs in Hong Kong can be staggering. A simple hospital stay or routine surgery can cost tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, while more serious conditions can quickly rise into the hundreds of thousands. It’s about having someone on your side — someone who understands the fine print, can anticipate the risks.
Who Needs International Medical Insurance?
International Medical Insurance is ideal for expats, international families, and professionals in Hong Kong who want complete protection — not only for major hospital events, but also for the everyday

healthcare needs that often come with living and working overseas. When private hospital bills can rise quickly, international cover gives you the confidence to choose quality care without worrying about cost.
It’s especially valuable if you want long-term certainty. Whether you’re planning a family, managing ongoing health needs, or simply want the freedom to access the best specialists, international cover helps ensure you’re protected across inpatient, outpatient, and global treatment scenarios.
Possible Pitfalls We Help You Avoid
This is where expert guidance makes a real difference, because the biggest risks are often hidden in policy wording. One common issue is assuming that “medical insurance” automatically includes outpatient treatment — but many plans restrict outpatient visits, diagnostics, and

specialist consultations, even when they’re part of the same medical event.
We also help you avoid gaps around cancer treatment pathways. Some policies only cover treatment during inpatient admission, while much of real-world cancer care happens through outpatient clinics — chemotherapy sessions, scans, specialist reviews, and follow-ups. Another major pitfall is maternity timing: waiting periods of 10–24 months are common, and without planning, families can be caught uninsured when they need cover most.
These are exactly the scenarios where people feel they were “covered” — until they weren’t. Our job is to make sure your plan holds up in real life, not just in a brochure.
Why Work With Expat Insurance?
On the surface, many international medical policies look almost identical. But the true differences are buried in exclusions, definitions, sub-limits, claim conditions, and how insurers classify treatment. What feels like one medical episode to you may be broken into multiple

categories by an insurer — with only part of it covered.
As an independent broker, Expat Insurance helps you compare policies clearly across 30+ providers, so you understand what you’re buying before you commit. We also negotiate better terms where possible, support you through applications, and remain your advocate long after the policy starts — from renewals to claims support and coverage reviews. You don’t just get a policy — you gain a partner.
What Does Typical Cover Include?
International Medical Insurance is designed to protect you across both everyday care and high-cost medical events. Depending on the plan, typical cover can include hospitalisation and surgery, outpatient GP and specialist visits, diagnostics and imaging, physiotherapy,

psychiatric care, dental and optical benefits, maternity and newborn coverage, and critical illness support.
Many plans also include worldwide protection and direct billing / cashless claims options, reducing admin and reimbursement delays. Done properly, international cover protects you not only for the hospital admission itself, but also for the “surrounding costs” that often appear on real bills — specialist fees, theatre charges, medication, scans, follow-up treatment, and recovery care.

Real Stories That Show the Difference
An airline executive broke his ankle and faced a HKD 270,000 hospital bill. His company scheme only covered half. A broker-arranged plan filled the gap, saving him HKD 120,000.
A young expat couple secured comprehensive cover before starting a family. When faced with complications, their policy saved them from six-figure maternity costs.
An American professional developed cancer just months after taking out coverage. Because he had comprehensive, worldwide cover, he was able to choose treatment both in the US and Hong Kong.
These aren’t rare exceptions — they’re everyday realities in Hong Kong, where a single hospital stay, accident, or unexpected illness can quickly become a financial crisis. The difference between being protected and being exposed often comes down to one thing: having the right policy in place.
