Visiting customers seeking medical attention in Hong Kong often encounter challenges due to unfamiliarity with the city as well as its healthcare system. In response, AIA Hong Kong has launched AIA CarePass1, a market-first2, comprehensive curation of premium medical support services that integrates premium medical resources from across the Greater Bay Area for eligible high-end customers3. AIA CarePass features the all-new "One-Stop Oncology Service"4, "Health Arrangement Service"5 and six other value-added services – enabling customers to easily obtain high-quality medical services in Hong Kong and medical opinions from international experts, greatly simplifying the process of accessing medical services in Mainland China and Hong Kong, and providing medical solutions with estimated costs.
Ms Alice Liang, Chief Proposition Officer of AIA Hong Kong & Macau, said, "Many Mainland Chinese customers choose to seek medical attention in Hong Kong because of its renowned professionalism. Nonetheless, we understand that they may not be familiar with local hospitals or doctors and are concerned about the hassle of making arrangements in Hong Kong. To address these pain points, we are pleased to introduce AIA CarePass, which leverages the strengths of AIA's vast partnership network to bring together top-class medical service providers and seamlessly connect customers with premium medical resources, all facilitated via a dedicated assistant.
"This first-of-its-kind programme will also enhance the transparency of medical costs so customers can better plan their finances before treatment begins. AIA CarePass is the latest example of how we constantly seek to break the boundaries of traditional insurance to continuously enhance and expand a unique AIA health service ecosystem that takes care of customers throughout their health journey – from prevention to protection, and from treatment to rehabilitation – helping them live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives."
AIA CarePass is especially curated for high-end customers visiting Hong Kong. It encompasses a multitude of superior, high-quality medical services spanning eight major areas, including:
- New "One-Stop Oncology Service": Joining forces with Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Integrated Oncology Centre, AIA Hong Kong provides eligible visiting customers with one-stop integrated oncology treatments and services, supported by a leading multidisciplinary team of medical specialists in Hong Kong. A dedicated Service Ambassador from the service partner will be assigned to the eligible visitor (patient) for customised one-on-one support should they need to stay in Hong Kong for oncology treatments. From arranging an initial consultation with a medical specialist and explaining treatment plans recommended by the multidisciplinary team, to obtaining pre-approval of estimated medical fees and making administrative arrangements related to treatment, the dedicated Service Ambassador will be with the patient all the way to ensure that they receive continuous, professional care and support throughout the treatment process, so the patient can focus on their recovery.
- New "Health Arrangement Service": Backed by a global medical network, this new cross-border medical concierge service is designed to provide eligible high-end customers with the administrative support they need when travelling to Hong Kong for medical treatments.
