Neil Raymond, our CEO and Founder, is a fellow expat in Hong Kong himself and realized in the late 1990s that expats had difficulty navigating the local health insurance landscape and finding suitable coverage options. As such, he founded Pacific Prime in 2000 to fill in this gap in the market by \u201csimplifying insurance\u201d (our motto).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Pacific Prime has grown into one of the world\u2019s leading insurance brokerages with many awards and accolades under its belt. From our headquarters in Hong Kong and regional offices in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, we work with individuals, businesses, and families from all walks of life and across many areas of insurance. However, our commitment to helping expats find the best health insurance coverage for their needs has remained a key part of our mission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Further reading:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Discover how Pacific Prime grew from strength-to-strength over the past two decades via <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/corporate\/about-us-corporate-insurance-brokers\/our-story\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an interactive timeline of \u2018Our Story\u2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problems expats face and how we can help<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving around as expats isn\u2019t a piece of cake. Everything is new and different in a foreign country and takes a while to get to grips with, including dealing with a language barrier, understanding how the local healthcare system works, and securing the right health insurance coverage. What\u2019s more, moving around (or traveling back home) often also means that there may be gaps in health insurance coverage that needs addressing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s where Pacific Prime comes in. Our team is composed of many highly-trained and multilingual, expat staff (as well as local staff) so that communication is not an issue. We offer our 100% impartial advice in the clients\u2019 native language (where possible) and seek to understand their healthcare and lifestyle needs above all. We then provide a tailored plan comparison and explain the ins and outs of the chosen policy so that clients are empowered to make a decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cherry on top? Our unparalleled services don\u2019t end after helping clients compare and select the right health insurance plan. From helping fill out insurance forms and liaising with insurers to making claims for reimbursement and more, we provide a number of value-added services that support clients throughout their insurance journey. In addition to this, we also act in the clients\u2019 best interest at all times and are their advocate if ever negotiation with insurers is needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact Pacific Prime Hong Kong today!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the sound of what you\u2019ve just read?
