Service Information

Service Fees & Payment Method

Is UCN a not-for-profit organisation? Are the services provided free of charge?

UCN is a sub-organisation of United Christian Medial Service (UCMS, a registered charitable organisation), which is a not-for-profit organisation running on a self-financing basis.  Over 80% of the income is derived from service charges and others are the funding/subvention from The Community Chest, Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities, Social Welfare Department as well as donors’ support.    

 

To finance our operations, charges are applied to most of the services. Some of the services with funding support are offered at preferential rates or free of charge to eligible persons.  Please contact our centres for further information.   

 

Incomes derived from service charges are also used in rendering health care services to disadvantaged communities, for example, delivering outreaching services to patients with chronic illness and providing day care service and medical subvention to elderly in need.   

What are the charges of UCN’s services?

As we have plenty of service items, you are welcome to contact our health centres for charges of individual items.  

What kinds of payment method are available?

Payment can be made by cash/EPS/health care voucher at the Community Health Centres. Some centres also accept credit cards (VISA/MASTER). All charges of UCN's services will be updated from time to time without prior notice, whichever is finalized. Please contact our Community Health Centres for service details and fees.

Can elderly settle payment by Health Care Voucher?

Elders aged 65 or above who hold valid HKID Card or Certificate of Exemption are eligible to use health care voucher for settling payment for general outpatient, Chinese medicine, dental, physiotherapy or health check services, etc.

Medicine Prescription

Can I purchase medicine without prior doctor’s consultation?

UCN’s Community Health Centres are registered medical clinics and all medications must be prescribed by attending doctors.  Therefore, patients must come to the health centre for medical consultation by doctor and get the medicine prescribed.
