Admission Procedure

Admission is normally pre-arranged by the patient's attending doctor. The patient should produce an admission letter, identification, and a deposit. Basic personal necessities such as toiletries, pyjamas etc, should be brought along, but valuables should be left at home. The hospital will bear no responsibility for valuables lost.

Deposit

A deposit which may be paid by cash, cheque or credit card is required on admission. For patients who are not residents of Hong Kong or Macau, larger deposits are required. Alternatively a written guarantee of payment from the local representative of his insurer, his consulate, employer or doctor may be accepted. A list of deposit rates is available from the Admission Office.

Room Charges and Settlement of Bills

A detailed list of charges (subject to revision) is available from the Admission Office, or here . Room charges include three standard main meals but are exclusive of medication, X-rays, and other ancillary services. Hospital charges are payable weekly, or in the case of the Intensive Care Unit, every three days. Should the patient be discharged outside normal office hours, payment may be made to the ward sister.

Patients are reminded that charges levied by their attending doctors are not under the control of the hospital, and that they should discuss expected costs with their doctors before admission.
