SENIOR HEALTH INSURANCE FAQ
How much is health insurance for seniors?
It’s hard to give a number for everyone but in our experience, annual senior health insurance premiums range from inpatient to higher-end outpatient. This number will vary based on the insurer you choose, the tier of coverage you choose, and your age upon application.
The primary factor for premium rating is your age. The idea is that older people are more likely to become sick or injured, and therefore claim benefits, than people who are relatively young. The older you are when you first purchase insurance, the more expensive your monthly or annual premiums will be for the same coverage.
If you’re worried about affordability, we can work with you to trim down unnecessary coverages (ie. maybe you don’t need coverage in the United States because you rarely travel there) or increase your deductible to lower the cost of your policy to more affordable levels. We can also add special coverages based on your specific needs.
It’s also important to note that unlike your property insurance policies, they do not calculate your premiums based on your claims history as long as your policy is community rated. Feel free to make full use of the benefits provided by your senior health insurance policy (ie. medical check-up discounts, eye tests, hearing assessments, etc.).
What Is The Maximum Age For Senior Citizens Medical Health Insurance?
Most senior health insurance policies have an age limit set to prevent people aged 60 or sometimes 70 from getting health insurance. This is because most insurance companies have calculated that your risk of illness or death is too great at that age for this to be a profitable business.
That said, it’s not impossible for you to get insurance. There are new policies emerging that will accept applications from clients as old as 85 years old. This increase is due in part to concerns regarding the financial sustainability of the public healthcare system as people in Hong Kong get increasingly older.
But just because you can get insurance at a later age doesn’t mean you should wait that long. One of the primary factors insurance companies use to calculate how much to charge you (premiums) is your age bracket. The sooner you purchase health insurance, the cheaper your monthly premiums will be. Another factor are pre-existing conditions, the longer you wait, the more likely you are to have a chronic illness that insurance companies would exclude coverage for.

Which senior health insurance is best for parents?
With a myriad of health insurance choices, it’s hard to know which one is the best. Part of the trouble is that there is no “best” health insurance coverage. There is just the coverage that is the most suitable for your financial situation, lifestyle and life stage.
For parents, we generally recommend a family health insurance policy as it covers everyone in the family for a significant discount versus insuring every family member separately. If you’re expecting children, a family health insurance policy might extend to cover the newborn. But if not, you should consider purchasing maternity insurance as well.
