Hospitalization Costs

  1. Top >
  2. Inpatient & Visitor Guide >
  3. Hospitalization Costs

If you have any questions about your hospitalization cost, please ask our staff at ward reception before you make a payment.

If you are recipients of medical subsidy or welfare, your monthly payment will be no more than the limit of patient liability.

Calculation of Hospitalization Costs

  • 0 a.m. is regarded as the beginning of a day for cost calculation in accordance with Health Insurance Act.
    (For an overnight stay, you will be charged for 2 days of hospital fees and special room rate.)

  • Medical and dental fees are charged separately. You will receive separate bills for medical and dental treatment. The outpatient consultation fee will be charged separately from the hospitalization fee. e.g. Having “dental” consultation while you are hospitalized in “medical” unit.
    The cost will be informed monthly and at the time of discharge. You can make a payment each time or all at once.

Eligibility Certificate for Ceiling-amount Application
(For patients under 70 years of age)

You are exempt from paying the excess beyond Ceiling-Amount of Personally-borne Medical Expenses (See the table below) by presenting this certificate. We recommend you to apply for the certificate before admission as “The Date of Issue” will be the first day of the month you apply. Please let your ward staff know if the certificate doesn’t arrive by the time of payment, or you applied for the certificate while being hospitalized. Please present your certificate at ward reception when you receive it.

  • * If you fail to present your certificate, without notifying us in advance that your application is in process, we may not be able to process your payment on the day. The certificate is not valid for the completed payment.
  • * If you would like to apply for the certificate while being hospitalized, and if your family members cannot help you with it, please contact ward reception. We submit the application on your behalf.
