The IHHP was the most popular IHI danmark plan in Hong Kong and the only one to now still be marketed in the region.

It's popularity was due in part for the reason that allowed 2 children per adult (a total of 4 altogether) to be insured FREE of CHARGE) up until the age of 10.

It is seen more as a wealth preservation policy, concentrating on cover for (bigger) hospital bills, especially. For people in Hong Kong claiming on the IHHP out patient cover will often mean being reimbursed no more than 1/3 of the bill.

See 'Today's BUPA Global Plans' tab for more information.

The Worldwide Health Insurance plan predates the Superior, ISM and IHHP. Originally it was denominated only in Danish Kroner. Sale was stopped in HK on 1-10-2015.

It offers 5 levels of cover and an annual cap of

• USD450,000 pa per person for the most basic hospital Option E, and
• USD900,000 pa per person for the 'Ultimate' Option A plan which covers 100% hospital and 80% outpatient benefits.

An early attraction of this plan was that children under the age of 16 were covered free!

Like the ISM, maternity is coverable @100%.

Outpatient, pre and postnatal pregnancy consultations are, like other outpatient costs, reimbursed 80% (rather than 90% of the ISM).

*The deductible is the contribution you make towards the cost of your treatment each policy year before receiving reimbursement.

The deductible is the contribution you make towards the cost of your treatment each policy year before receiving any reimbursement. This means that the total cost of the claims you submit must exceed your chosen deductible amount before BUPA is able to make any reimbursement payments to you. Every year when you renew your policy a new deductible will be applied. The deductible applies separately for each person on your insurance policy.

If you have an insurance policy with another health insurer (eg a local plan) you can send us copies of any bills covered by the other insurer and the corresponding reimbursement statements/explanation of benefits. Bupa can then count these towards your deductible, providing the benefits would have been covered under your Bupa Global insurance plan.

We are often asked by clients as they age, and may look to reduce costs by bearing a higher deductible, what is the difference between the International Swiss Medical and the International Health and Hospital plan. Below is our summary.

For NEW applicants to IHHP, BUPA will review all conditions prior to accepting the application and will likely apply a loading, exclusion or even decline, depending on the severity.
