I am in HK until the end of April 2006 and need to get blood tests done every 6 weeks and send the results back to the UK. I have medical insurance but will not be covered for any pre-existing conditions (of which mine is). I have no HK ID so will be paying the full cost of the tests.
So, can anyone tell me where the cheapest place to get a blood test done is? I have been quoted $700 at the Quality Healthcare Practice in Prince’s Building but this seems rather expensive.
What is the general procedure for blood tests? Do I need to see a doctor first and get a specific form to have the test or can I just make an appointment to get it done without seeing a doctor?
Also, I will need to go somewhere where they speak English.
Any responses will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
