Claimable Amount Estimate and Cashless Arrangement Service | Insurance | Sun Life HK

Claimable Amount Estimate and Cashless Arrangement Service1, 2, 3, 4

Before undergoing any treatment or surgery, you can understand the coverage and the estimated claimable amount, and then apply for a cashless arrangement. Once the cashless arrangement is approved prior to your Hospital admission or Designated Day Case Procedure, all Eligible Expenses incurred during your Confinement or Designated Day Case Procedure will be settled on your behalf - allowing you to focus on recovery without having to worry about making claims upon discharge or performed Designated Day Case Procedure.  

Designated client should be insured under any of the following plans:

Step 1:  Claimable Amount Estimate

  • If you already have a preferred doctor, you may consult them directly. Alternatively, you can contact your Advisor to access the “HealthCost Navigator”6 via eSunPro to obtain a list of suitable network doctors and reference information on treatment costs.
  • Once you have obtained the information for surgery, hospitalization arrangement, and the estimated total cost for surgery or other related medical treatments, please contact your Advisor to submit a Claimable Amount Estimate application to HMG.
  • Based on the scope of coverage under your medical insurance policy, HMG will provide a Claimable Amount Estimate.
  • HMG will also provide appropriate network doctor as reference based on the information provided.

Step 2: : Get pre-authorization (for Cashless Arrangement Service only)

  • After the doctor’s diagnosis, conduct an assessment of pre-surgery costs and medical needs.
  • If you choose to use the cashless arrangement service, please complete the Pre-Authorization Application Form and submit it to your Advisor. Your Advisor will then process the pre-authorization on your behalf via “eSunPro”.
  • When the pre-authorization process is completed, HMG will inform you the status of your Letter of Guarantee.
  • For admission to hospitals in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, cashless arrangement service application form must be sent to HMG at least 4 working days prior to the hospitalization or date of surgery.
  • For admission to hospitals in other countries, cashless arrangement service application form must be sent to HMG at least 9 working days prior to the hospitalization or date of surgery.
  • The approval result will be sent to the client and advisor by email, WhatsApp or WeChat within 2 working days after completion of the approval process.

Step 3: Undergoing designated day case procedure or admission to the hospital (approval for cashless surgical procedure)

  • Designated day care procedures conducted within the HMG network in Hong Kong are eligible for the Cashless Arrangement Service.
  • Present your personal identification document upon admission to the hospital or registration at clinic.

Step 4: Discharge

  • No extra payment is required upon discharge if the cost is within your approved credit limit. Also, no claim filing is needed after discharge or day case procedure.
  • However, if your bill includes unapproved items or services which are not covered in your Letter of Guarantee, you may need to pay the difference and file a claim later.
