I've recently moved to HK and need to sort out private medical insurance as the company policy won't cover me whilst living adroad.
Can anyone recommend and good provider of expat medical insurance?

I would add AXA to the list. Easy forms that take 2 minutes to fill out and no hassle with payments (so far).

Yes, I would agree - AXA has been very good over the years. However (and a big one), I did have an issue when a young local member of staff didn't bother to check my policy, when he should have made himself aware that I had no limit on my in-hospital benefits. On admission, I discovered that he had faxed the hospital that day with instructions that I was not to be fed or watered during my stay without coughing up for it myself and, far more importantly, he had also put a (plucked out of the air and totally inadequate) cap on the cost of the surgery I was to undergo first thing the next morning! This caused unnecessary delay and all sorts of hassle, which took a long time (for the UK office) to sort, as well as a miserable hospital stay. Just make sure, whichever company you go with, that the person(s) dealing with your case know what they're doing and also that you know what you're entitled to. Remember: the squeaky wheel gets the oil! Most companies will try to keep costs down...
