Case studies

28 years old, office worker
Ms Cherry’s employer provides her with the basic medical insurance coverage, but Ms Cherry wanted more and better coverage, so she purchases a VHIS Standard Plan for herself.
Ms Cherry wakes up one day, has a temperature and a sore throat, which was painful - so painful she couldn’t drink water and swallow any food.
"Oh no, not again! I’ve got tonsillitis again? It's the 5th time this year!"
Ms Cherry decides to visit the family doctor. The doctor diagnoses her with tonsillitis, and would normally prescribe a course of antibiotics for 7 days, but because this was the 5th reoccurrence of tonsillitis within as many months, the doctor recommended her for tonsillectomy.
The doctor referred Ms Cherry to a private hospital for immediate surgery, and was admitted the next day along with a scheduled surgery to happen on the same day. The surgery was successful and Cherry was kept in for observation, rest and recuperation for a further 2 days. The fee of hospitalisation, doctor and operation came to HK$ 52,000 in total.
“
Luckily I bought VHIS! The medical fee is nearly my 3 monthly salary!
