“I moved to Hong Kong recently and had no idea where to start with health insurance. A friend told me to try NowCompare, so I gave it a shot. Honestly I expected a headache, but it was pretty painless. I filled in the details and someone emailed me the same afternoon with a few options. We had a quick call and they explained the differences in normal language instead of insurance jargon, which I appreciated because I was totally lost.
What I liked most is that they did not try to force the most expensive plan on me. They asked about my budget, how often I normally go to the doctor, and whether I travel a lot. They then narrowed it down to two plans that actually made sense. The price was a bit higher than I hoped for, but after living here I can see why everyone says you need proper private cover.
The whole sign up was quick and I got my documents within a day. I have only had to use it once for a check up and the claim was approved without hassle.
Only small negative is that I got two follow up emails that felt like automated reminders, which was a bit annoying, but nothing major.
Overall I am happy I used them. Saved me a bunch of time and I feel like I ended up with the right cover for Hong Kong. I would recommend them to other expats who are trying to figure out the insurance situation here.”
“Super pushy when I enquired about their prices. Called everyday, indicating I was at fault for missing their previous calls. I had to ask them to delete my details which they did, but at the same time blamed me when I indicated that the main reason for not being interested in their services was their pushy attitude. AVOID contact at all costs.”
“This experience was very smooth and well managed. I was informed frequently and given the right guidance and information well in advance.
Very organised”
