How to choose the right insurance
Filing a claim for a hospital bill is a painstaking process. What kind of medical insurance plan provides a hassle-free experience?
Traditional medical insurance usually requires subscribers to settle their hospital bills upon discharge and then submit a claim to the insurance company for reimbursement. If a subscriber suffers from sudden illness and requires hospital treatment in short notice, he/she may not have enough cash to pay for the unexpected expenses.
Useful tip:
When choosing a medical insurance scheme, try to find a scheme that provides a medical card. By using the medical card, the insurance company will settle the medical bills with the private hospital directly. You won’t need to pay any money in advance, worry about medical bills, or submit any claims afterwards. Medical insurance schemes such as Bupa CarePro*, Bupa HealthPlus, and Bupa All Together do offer medical card. Before admitting into a private Hong Kong hospital, just call Bupa to complete a simple registration process. You can then access cashless service by using the medical card.
* A medical card will be issued if Full Cover Benefit or Supplementary Major Medical Benefit is selected under Bupa CarePro.
