Expat health & medical insurance in Hong Kong

There’s a lot to think about when moving to Hong Kong. You’ll want to spend your time exploring the vibrant culture, bustling centre and local street markets, rather than worrying about your healthcare options. Our Hong Kong health insurance can take the pressure off and provide reassurance at this busy and exciting time.

With all our cover levels, you can get treatment in any hospital in Hong Kong. To make it easier for you, you can take a look at our AXA Select hospital network, where we can pay the costs directly for you. You can use our provider finder tool to search by speciality or location, to help find the right doctor for you. Wherever you choose to go, you’ll be covered straight away.

Avoid waiting lists and language barriers

When moving somewhere new, it’s the small things that really make a difference. Whether that’s a doctor who speaks your language or shorter waiting times, private medical insurance can make it easier to find the care you need. For extra support, we’re also available 24/7, so if you have any questions about your cover, all you need to do is get in touch.

The cost of healthcare – covered

Private healthcare in Hong Kong is among the most expensive in the world¹.  But with our global health plans, we’ve got this covered. It’s not always straightforward to get a routine appointment like a dental check-up. You can only be seen at a public clinic in an emergency, so it’s good to know you can choose a plan that covers your dental appointments, to make sure you’re not left with a large dental bill.

We’re by your side in an emergency

We’ll be there to provide vital support whenever you need it. All our plans include cover for ambulance transport, overnight stays, and surgery. And, if you can’t access the treatment you need locally, we’ll get you to where you need to be, and back again once you’re feeling better. We know an evacuation can be expensive, that’s why we don’t take the costs out of your overall benefit allowance.

Short term cover

Need cover for 3 to 11 months?
