The First People's Hospital of Foshan

Highlights

Health care vouchers are issued and claimed through an electronic platform. Eligible elderly persons need not pre-register, collect or carry the vouchers.

Starting from 17 July 2025, elderly persons receiving outpatient services at The First People’s Hospital of Foshan (“FPHFS”) for the first time, can visit “Service Counter of Hong Kong Elderly Health Care Voucher” of the One-stop Service Center at the Outpatient Lobby, Building 1 of the FPHFS to complete the relevant procedure and identity verification by presenting a valid Hong Kong Identity Card or Certificate of Exemption issued by the Immigration Department of the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Elderly persons should then register on site or through the reservation platform. Elderly persons can use vouchers to pay for the fees at the Registration Cashier after receiving outpatient healthcare services at the designated departments.

If the elderly person is under emergency care, vouchers may be used to pay for the fees of relevant services at the Emergency Cashier after emergency pre-examination and triage, and completion of treatment.

Elderly persons who have completed the relevant procedure and identity verification in person at the hospital can make reservation through the official WeChat mini program of “The First People’s Hospital of Foshan” by selecting “Hong Kong Health Care Voucher Appointment”.

Elderly persons will need to provide consent to join Electronic Health System (“eHealth”) (if not already) before they could use vouchers outside Hong Kong.

The FPHFS will make voucher claim for the elderly person. At the same time, the record of voucher usage in the elderly person’s account will also be updated. Upon completion of the process of making voucher claim, the FPHFS will give a printed record of the voucher balance to the elderly person for retention. However, elderly persons cannot use vouchers to pay for the same episode of service with service fees being covered by national medical insurance.

Services applicable for the Elderly Health Care Voucher Pilot Reward Scheme

A three-year Elderly Health Care Voucher Pilot Reward Scheme (“Pilot Reward Scheme”) is rolled out under the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme on 13 November 2023. Through providing rewards, eligible Hong Kong elderly persons aged 65 or above are encouraged to use vouchers for receiving designated primary healthcare (“PHC”) services such as health assessment, chronic disease screening and management provided by private healthcare service providers. As long as an elderly person’s principal reason for visit to a healthcare service provider is to receive designated PHC services, the amount of vouchers used by the elderly person on that occasion can be accumulated for earning reward, which can be used for settling fees for designated PHC services in future.

Designated PHC services under the Pilot Reward Scheme are applicable to outpatient services on preventive and follow-up/monitoring of long term conditions provided by the above-mentioned 14 designated outpatient departments of the FPHFS.
