Membership announcement

Effective dates

This territorial extension will apply to all requests for assistance that relate to incidents or new matters occurring from 1 April 2025.

Issues that arose before this date that relate to your practice in the Greater Bay Area are not included within the extension and you will not be able to request assistance with these.

At no additional cost to you

As a Hong Kong member of Medical Protection, you can take advantage of this extension to your membership at no extra cost – with no additional subscription fees to pay.

At your next renewal we may contact you to ask you to declare the amount of work you do in the GBA; we will contact you separately to do this, you do not need to take any action to inform us today.

GBA work must fall within your existing scope of membership

Members carrying out practice within the GBA must work within the scope of their current membership both in terms of the type and volume of activity carried out.

There is no sub limit to the volume of work that can be carried out in the GBA.

Those members on a limited hours membership must limit their hours in total across the territories. If you are uncertain if you have a limited hours membership, please see your most recent membership documentation or contact the HKMA who will be able to confirm.

Underwriting exclusions applied to practice in Hong Kong will also apply to work in the GBA. Please check your latest membership documentation for confirmation of any exclusions that are applied to your membership.

Tax implications

Medical Protection cannot provide tax advice and is not responsible for any tax implications of your practice in the GBA. However, working in the GBA may have implications for your tax and we recommend that you ensure you understand them and take advice, if you are uncertain, from a qualified tax professional.
