長者醫療券計劃是香港政府推出的重要醫療計劃,旨在為長者提供優質的基層醫療服務,同時減輕公共醫療系統的壓力。
The Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme is a significant healthcare initiative by the Hong Kong Government designed to enhance primary healthcare services for the elderly population while reducing their reliance on the public healthcare system.
資格及福利
所有65歲或以上持有有效香港身份證或豁免證明書的香港居民均符合資格參加此計劃。每位合資格長者每年可獲發2,000港元的醫療券,未使用的餘額可保留並累積至最高8,000港元。
醫療券為長者提供經濟上的靈活性,讓他們可以根據個人需求和偏好選擇私營醫療服務,從而促進醫療成本共同承擔的理念。
Eligibility and Benefits
All Hong Kong residents aged 65 or above with a valid Hong Kong Identity Card or Certificate of Exemption are eligible for the scheme. Each eligible elderly person receives an annual voucher amount of HK$2,000, which can be accumulated up to a maximum of HK$8,000.
The vouchers provide financial flexibility, allowing seniors to choose private healthcare services based on their personal needs and preferences, thereby promoting the concept of shared responsibility for healthcare costs.
配偶共享安排
計劃的一個獨特之處是配偶共享安排,已婚長者夫婦可以共享他們的醫療券餘額。這為家庭管理醫療開支提供了更大的靈活性。
要建立此安排,夫妻雙方必須攜帶香港身份證一同前往已登記的醫療服務提供者處。經過簡單的登記程序後,任何一方在用完自己的醫療券餘額後,均可使用配偶帳戶中的醫療券。
Spousal Sharing Arrangement
A unique feature of the scheme is the spousal sharing arrangement, which allows married elderly couples to share their voucher balances. This provides greater flexibility in managing healthcare expenses within families.
To establish this arrangement, both spouses must visit an enrolled healthcare provider together with their Hong Kong Identity Cards. After a simple registration process, either spouse can use the vouchers from their partner's account once their own balance is depleted.
