Get cancer treatment protection for only $2 a day(1)
Includes full coverage for all levels of malignant cancer and carcinoma in situ (2), from diagnosis and monitoring to surgery, treatment and medication expenses (including targeted therapy and immunotherapy) with customers not needing to pay any deductibles (3).
Bowtie Cancer Fighter premium rates are lower than other major insurance providers' cancer insurance plans (4) because we leverage technology to greatly reduce operational costs and pass on savings to our customers.
In the unfortunate event of cancer diagnosis, $1 million benefit for cancer treatment is immediately activated, which is enough to cover the cost of treatment for most cancer cases within 3 years. And every 3 years thereafter, the $1 million benefit is replenished to provide protection against cancer recurrence or diagnosis of other cancers until the benefit reaches policy's lifetime coverage limit.
Choose from $1/$2/$3 million lifetime benefit options for protection for the entire cancer treatment journey until 5 years after final treatment, recurrence and diagnosis of other cancers.
Over 30% of deaths in Hong Kong are caused by cancer (5). The top five fatal cancers are lung cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer (5).
Nearly 20% of cancer patients give up treatment because they could no longer afford it. For instance, targeted therapy for lung cancer amounts to as high as $50,000 monthly (7) while full treatment for colon cancer at private hospitals costs $1.3 million (6).
Prolonged waiting time for treatments could lead to poorer health outcomes. The waiting time for treatment at public hospitals ranges from several weeks to over 2 years (8).
