VHIS · Standard Plan
HSBC Voluntary Health Insurance Standard Plan and Manulife Shelter VHIS Standard Plan are both Standard Plan VHIS plans; they differ in ward class, benefit limits, geographical coverage and premium.
Manulife Shelter VHIS Standard Plan suits you better if you value a lower entry premium (about HK$2,655/yr at age 40, non-smoker).
Neither plan is categorically better — your choice should rest on your own budget, where you expect to seek treatment and your family needs, ideally after a financial needs analysis.
