First Expat Health Insurance Comparison Site
The World's first health insurance comparison website dedicated to expatriates in Hong Kong has been launched by Hong Kong based insurance consultancy Alliance Insurance Services Limited and has quickly found its place as an essential living abroad tool.
The website, Health-insurance.com.hk, is a free online service to expats and provides comparisons of over 200 health insurance plans including cover benefits, services and prices, and was developed to help expats in Hong Kong save both time and money.
With the site showing how much each viewer can save against average market prices, health-insurance.com.hk typically averages around 30% savings with some users saving up to 90% on their annual insurance cost.
Mike Ramsay, Chief Executive of the Alliance Group, says "this is a huge development for the international health insurance market; in the past expats had no alternative but to use a broker with limited choice and high commissions or navigate the mine field of finding a health insurance company directly."
As having one of the greatest concentrations of Expats in the World, Hong Kong has attracted many international health insurance companies offering vastly different health insurance products and services at vastly different prices, Mike Ramsay continued to say "Although the site will expand to other countries, Hong Kong was the perfect location to launch in as it had the greatest need for a simple online platform that allows people to make a quick informed decision on the company they want to use based upon the factors that are important to them."
Although popular in Europe and North America, online insurance comparison websites known as aggregators have been unavailable to the Hong Kong market, however, health-insurance.com.hk has spread quickly amongst the expat community receiving over 1,000 visitors in its first week through word of mouth recommendations with traffic increasing as each day has passed.
In addition to comparing health insurance quotes, expats are able to learn more about international health insurance by visiting the online resource centre which includes interesting articles about health and insurance issues that affect expats in Hong Kong, glossaries and technical information about the health insurance industry and the companies that operate within it.
