How complete is this VHIS list and how do I check an intermediary?

The official list contains 33 standard and 70 flexi plan/provider entries (103 total), covering 579 certification/version/option records. These are different counting units. Currency lists are subsets of the total across currencies; the same plan may appear in both.

Inclusion is not evidence of availability for new applications. The lists include renewal-only and unavailable plans, and deregistered VHIS providers. Match the offering legal entity and full certification number to the policy version; check the product's sourced availability notes. The Liberty series landing record is an umbrella, excluded from these individual-plan counts.

Where can I find a neutral list of VHIS plans and verify a licensed broker?

Use the Health Bureau’s certified-plan lists and our source-backed VHIS comparison pages to browse plans in alphabetical order. Certification records are not recommendations or proof of current availability. Check the broker firm and the person advising you in the IA public register; residence eligibility, underwriting and the permitted signing process need separate confirmation. [V3, V6]

Browse VHIS comparisons and check the certification version, deductible, exclusions, territorial cover and renewal-only notes against the official list. [V3, V5] Our licence verification guide explains independent register and contact checks. This site provides information and referrals to a licensed Hong Kong broker; individual advice belongs with the licensed intermediary. Mainland visitors must sign in Hong Kong. [V6]
