Cigna Healthcare Hong Kong Enhances VHIS Flexi Plan (Superior) with Expanded Regional Medical Coverage and Recovery Support

Rising medical costs and mobility reshape healthcare needs

Hong Kong's healthcare landscape is evolving amid rising cost pressures. The Hospital Authority's revised public healthcare fees, effective from January 1, 2026, are driving high out-of-pocket expenses. As these trends persist, individuals face greater exposure to rising and unpredictable medical costs underscoring the need for adequate health protection such as VHIS to help manage financial risk.

At the same time, increased mobility is reshaping healthcare needs. Hong Kong residents made over 117 million outbound trips in 2025, according to the Census and Statistics Department^*, driving greater cross-border spending and numbers of customers requiring medical care outside Hong Kong, particularly between Hong Kong and Mainland China. This is fueling demand for health coverage that provides seamless access to quality health care across markets.

Strengthening Care Access and Recovery Support

In response, the Cigna VHIS Series – Flexi Plan (Superior) introduces enhanced proposition¹ on access, support and recovery:

• Extended coverage in Mainland China to all Tier 3 hospitals
• Upgraded Accommodation Room Type outside Hong Kong, Macau and the United States to Private Room level²
• Rehabilitative care coverage² of up to HK$80,000 per policy year (up to 60 days)
• The coverage² for follow-up outpatient visits per Confinement after major or complex surgery, covering all visits within 365 days after discharge from Hospital

In addition, this product continues to offer value to customers with access to existing benefits including:

• Worldwide emergency assistance services³ at no additional cost
• Coverage of up to US$1,000,000 for emergency medical evacuation to an appropriate location for treatment, or for repatriation to the home country or usual country of residence
• Personalized support throughout the care process, including a dedicated one-on-one Cigna Care Manager⁴ to assist with hospital stay, surgery or other treatment arrangements, as well as access to virtual consultations⁵ with exclusive discount
