Having a group medical plan is certainly better than not having any protection at all. The question is, can a standard group medical plan provide enough protection? In order to decide whether you need personal medical coverage at all, it is wise to take a look at what protection your group medical plan can and cannot offer.
In Hong Kong, most group plans can only cover 50-70% inpatient and surgery expenses. However, you can leverage your group plan to have your bills fully covered!
