Private Hospital Fees in Hong Kong

Published

Read time

The cost of health care benefits in Hong Kong is projected to rise by 6.7% in 2021 according to Human Resources Online¹. As medical expenses continue to rise, it’s extremely important to have the right amount of coverage. With most employee medical benefits schedules (MBS), the coverage is divided into multiple benefit items, such as room and board, doctor's visit fees, surgeon’s fees, miscellaneous expenses, etc. Each benefit item has a coverage limit, and medical expenses exceeding the benefit limits aren’t covered by the insurance. Therefore having a medical insurance policy doesn’t necessarily mean having adequate protection.

With an uncertain economic outlook, there should be a renewed urgency for employers to review their programme design and identify priorities for change. While it’s hard to estimate the total medical bills when sickness hits, we collated a comprehensive list of the costs of Hong Kong private hospital room fees and admissions charges for some common surgical procedures for you to plan ahead.
