Alternative types of therapy or medicine are gaining in popularity as people seek to find treatments that may have less of an impact in regards to side effects. Here in Hong Kong, apart from the typical general health practitioner, one can also opt to go to a Traditional Chinese Practitioner for a different type of medical treatment that has played an integral part of Chinese culture for well over 2000 years.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is only one of many alternative therapies available around the world. We believe in allowing our policyholders to have a choice of different treatments available and thus we have options for plans that cover alternative medicine.
Treatments covered under an Alternative Medicine benefit include the following:
It is also important to note that the Out Patient Medical Insurance section of a health insurance policy may also offer coverage for alternative medicine treatments.
However, the degree of coverage offered on various alternative medicine treatments will differ between insurance providers depending on where your plan comes from. In addition, not all insurers will offer an Alternative Medical care benefit; therefore, please check your policy prior to obtaining treatment.
