When you\u2019re living or staying in an unfamiliar country, that big step can seem like a much larger one. At Pacific Prime Hong Kong, we have just published our new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.hk\/guides\/2017-2018-Maternity-Insurance-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maternity Insurance Guide<\/a> for expecting parents looking at a due date in the SAR. Our consultants and marketing teams have worked hard to ensure that everything you need to know is available in one handy booklet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inside the Maternity Insurance Guide<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information is key to feeling comfortable with any decision you make, and the right information is even more important when talking about pregnancy. Our guide is full of great information about maternity insurance in Hong Kong, the general costs associated with pregnancy, and information about both public and private hospitals. As a leading insurance broker, we\u2019ve also got some top tips for what to consider when you\u2019re thinking about maternity insurance: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Plan early:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Many maternity insurance additions require at least a 12 month waiting period before coverage will apply. If you\u2019re still planning for the future, make sure to get maternity insurance early. <\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Understand the benefits and limits:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Like all insurance products, maternity can come with a range of benefit options and coverage limits that can be tailored to your needs and desires. Our guide includes a glossary of terms and elements commonly used in our industry. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Be prepared for all events:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Maternity plans are generally designed to bring you and your baby to delivery in a healthy state, and may have some low level coverage for unexpected events. If you might be having a high risk pregnancy, or you want to be prepared for all circumstances, we have plans that provide great post-birth coverage for your newborn. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Understand the costs:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Routine checks, exams, visits, vaccinations, and the big event: delivery. Make sure you read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.hk\/guides\/2017-2018-Maternity-Insurance-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maternity Insurance Guide<\/a> so you understand how much pregnancy can cost in Hong Kong and what sorts of insurance you might need to help you cover it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--><\/style>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:573,&quot;3&quot;:[null,0],&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;6&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;7&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;8&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;12&quot;:0}\"><div class='code-block code-block-2' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.hk\/compare-quotes\/step-one\/?campSource=PPHK-Blog&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=content_banner&utm_campaign=Blog_Banner&utm_content=couple\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1281 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pacificprime.hk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/WP-Banner-revamp-final-20221207_2.-Couple-final.jpg?resize=700%2C303&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Health insurance for couples banner\" width=\"700\" height=\"303\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our guide is completely free of charge, and easily accessible for everyone &#8211; even those with little or limited knowledge of the Hong Kong health system.
