Do these situations sound familiar?

StillCover is designed precisely for these dilemmas. By closing the gap in long public hospital queues and covering expensive Self-Financed Items (SFIs), it gives you and your family the power of choice.

Parents needing surgery
"Mom needs gallstone surgery and says waiting for the public hospital is fine, but how can I bear watching her in pain for three more years?
Public Hospital Wait Times +
Gallstone pain can be excruciating, but the public hospital queue takes 2 to 3 years. Going to a private hospital is expensive, with extra costs for self-financed equipment. Your retired parents endure the pain to save money, while you scramble to cover the surgery fees.
Your spouse fighting cancer
"That targeted therapy drug costs over $30,000 a month. My husband says we should just settle for the cheaper medications!
Public Hospital Self-Financed Items +
Public hospital Self-Financed Items (SFIs) can easily cost hundreds of thousands, wiping out your life savings and severely impacting your quality of life. But how can you bear seeing your spouse settle for cheaper, less effective treatments?
About to retire and uninsured
"I wanted to buy health insurance for peace of mind, but I was rejected the moment they heard I have diabetes.
Can I get insured with diabetes? +
Having no medical coverage means that for any illness, big or small, you are forced to rely on public hospital queues and pay out-of-pocket. If you unfortunately need surgery, you have no choice but to endure the long wait.

How StillCover helps you

Rely on public hospitals for major illnesses, choose private ones for minor procedures.
Retired dad, 60, no medical insurance covers surgeries with long public wait times

Waiting too long at the public hospital? StillCover specifically covers a Designated Surgery List rather than everything, ensuring every dollar of your premium counts. We also partner with CUHK Medical Centre and Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong to provide a high-quality treatment environment.

With diabetes or 3-highs, am I destined to be rejected?
Diabetic mum, 60, rejected for medical insurance covers people who can't get covered
Many people with diabetes or 3-highs struggle to get insured. However, as long as you have Type 2 diabetes (not requiring insulin injections), high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, and have no complications, StillCover may still be able to cover your other health conditions.

FAQ

I have 3-highs (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol) or diabetes, can I really get insured?

Bowtie StillCover is designed for people with 3-highs and diabetes. If your condition is currently stable, you are welcome to submit an application so our underwriting team can review your health condition and conduct an assessment.

I have been rejected for VHIS before, do I still have a chance?

The product design of Bowtie StillCover is different from VHIS. Even if you have been rejected previously, you can still submit an application and let our underwriting team re-assess based on your latest health condition.

Is it really true that no medical examination is needed to apply?

The underwriting team will first conduct an assessment based on your answers to the health questions during the application. Depending on the Insured Person's health condition, we may require recent medical reports (such as medical examination or blood test reports) or arrange a medical examination for the Insured Person to help accurately assess the risk.

Can cancer survivors also apply?

It depends on the individual situation. We will conduct an assessment based on information such as recovery progress, current condition, and test report results. You are welcome to submit an application and let our underwriting team assess it. Case-based Exclusions and/or Premium Loading may apply.

If I want to apply for a medical claim, what are the procedures and claim criteria?

1. Pay-and-claim: If you plan to pay first and claim later, please log in to the online platform within 90 days after completing the treatment to upload receipts and other relevant documents to submit a claim application. We will assess it according to the benefit terms and reimburse the Eligible Expenses on a pay-and-claim basis.

Please note that if you have already claimed partial expenses from other sources (such as company group medical insurance), we will only reimburse the remaining balance.

(Note: This method is not applicable to the Hong Kong Private and GBA Hospital Confinement and Day Case Procedure benefit)

2. Pre-approval (Cashless arrangement): Applicable to Confinement or Day Case Procedure at Hong Kong private hospitals and GBA hospitals. As long as our pre-approval is obtained in advance, we will pay the expenses directly to the hospital or service provider, so you do not need to pay out of pocket. If the medical expenses are not within the pre-approved scope, you must pay that portion directly to the hospital upon discharge. For detailed service terms, please refer to the relevant cashless arrangement service application form.

3. Lump-sum payment (Compassionate Death Benefit): In the unfortunate event of the Insured Person's death, we will pay a lump-sum compassionate benefit to the Beneficiary.

If the Insured Person unfortunately passes away, how can it be ensured that the Beneficiary receives the compensation?

Anyone who has purchased Bowtie StillCover should carefully record their policy information and inform their Beneficiary of the relevant details, including policy terms, coverage scope, purchased benefit limits, policy number / account, etc. In addition, the Insured Person should also provide the insurance company's contact methods to the Beneficiary, including the phone number and email of the customer service department, to ensure the Beneficiary or authorized relatives can follow up on claim matters.

What do you cover if I am admitted to a public hospital?

Although public hospitals are affordable, many "self-financed items" are very expensive. We cover Confinement and surgical expenses, as well as expensive self-financed medications / equipment, such as cardiac stents, targeted therapy drugs, and artificial joints.

Can I immediately go to a private hospital for the 182 surgeries?

If you need to undergo any of the 182 designated surgeries, you do not need to wait in long queues at public hospitals. You can directly contact a Claims Specialist, and we will refer you to the designated private hospital network. A dedicated specialist will arrange the medical process for you, saving you the hassle of handling it yourself.

Why are the surgeries limited to 182 items? Why is it not all-inclusive?

This plan is positioned to target the procedures with the longest waiting times in public hospitals and those most commonly needed by people with 3-highs. We excluded some cardiovascular surgeries because traditional medical insurance usually rejects people with 3-highs due to these risks. Through this screening, we can be more flexible in our underwriting, ensuring that even if people with 3-highs cannot purchase VHIS, they can still obtain sustainable and affordable coverage (excluding cardiovascular diseases).

Is this insurance tax-deductible?

StillCover is a Supplementary Medical Plan and is not eligible for VHIS tax deductions. Its focus is on a low entry threshold and high risk-offset, specifically providing coverage for people with 3-highs.

Can the policy be renewed after purchase?

The plan provides guaranteed renewal up to age 100. No re-underwriting is required upon renewal, nor will premiums be increased due to personal claim records or a deterioration in health conditions occurring after the policy takes effect.

Is there a waiting period?

There is a 90-day waiting period. Illnesses diagnosed or symptoms manifested within the 90-day waiting period will not be covered.

Can I upgrade/downgrade my existing Bowtie StillCover?

Yes. All Bowtie StillCover customers can log in to Bowtie's online platform at least 30 days before the next anniversary renewal date to apply to upgrade or downgrade their plan level. Once approved, the new plan will take effect on the next anniversary renewal date of the original plan, and the premium will be charged from that day onwards, while the original plan will lapse on the same day.

Application method: Log in to the online platform → Select the relevant policy → Click Modify policy

Upgrading plan level As it involves an increase in coverage, applications for upgrading the plan require re-underwriting to ensure fairness to all customers. The underwriting result may differ from the original plan, but you do not need to resubmit your personal information or undergo identity verification again.

Downgrading plan level Downgrade applications do not require re-underwriting, and you do not need to resubmit your personal information or undergo identity verification again.

Will the Bowtie StillCover renewal premium increase due to claims? Will I be rejected for renewal due to claims?

The annual renewal premium for Bowtie StillCover will be adjusted based on age. We will not individually increase your premium due to your number of claims, claim amount, or changes in your health condition, nor will it affect your renewal.

Remark
1 The applicant must prove that their chronic disease indicators have remained stable over a past period and meet our underwriting requirements. The final underwriting result will be based on an individual health condition assessment. Depending on the applicant's actual health condition, Case-based Exclusions may apply.
2 This plan generally does not require a medical examination. The underwriting process primarily assesses the diagnosed conditions and their severity based on the information provided in your health declaration, which mostly consists of multiple-choice questions. This aims to allow the system to instantly calculate the fairest and most accurate premium for you.
3 Coinsurance mechanism: Subject to the policy terms, the Insured Person must bear 20% of the Eligible Expenses, and the remaining 80% will be reimbursed by Bowtie (subject to a total benefit limit of HK500,000 per policy year). This design aims to maintain the overall premium at an affordable level in the long run and ensure the sustainability of the coverage.
For example: If the relevant charge is HK5,000, your share of the Coinsurance is: HK5,000×201,000; the maximum amount reimbursable is: HK5,000×804,000. The 20% Coinsurance applies to expensive self-financed items within the Hospital Authority (HA) system, including:
- Samaritan Fund covered items: Includes one-off (e.g., cardiac stents, artificial joints) and non-one-off (e.g., home hemodialysis machine parts) non-drug items.
- Specialized targeted drugs: Covers designated self-financed cancer drugs recognized by the Samaritan Fund and the Community Care Fund (CCF) Medical Assistance Programmes (First Phase).
4 Refers to designated benefit items having no itemised sub-limits. The payable benefits are subject to the Coinsurance mechanism, annual benefit limits, the Designated Medical Network list, and other terms (including Reasonable and Customary charges, exclusions, etc.). For detailed product terms, coverage scope, and risks, please refer to the policy documents and the relevant product webpage.
5 The coverage of the Bowtie StillCover Medical Plan is only applicable within the Designated Medical Network. The Designated Medical Network list will be updated from time to time and does not cover all private hospitals or clinics. If the Insured Person receives treatment outside the Designated Medical Network, no benefit will be payable. For details of the latest list, please refer to the policy documents or contact Bowtie Customer Service Department at 3008 8123.
6 BowtieGo is a health and wellness membership program managed by Bowtie Life Insurance Company Limited, and its outpatient services are not an insurance product. The actual amount payable for outpatient offers depends on the doctor and the actual medical needs.
7 For planned surgeries, medical procedures, or Prescribed Diagnostic Imaging Tests within the Designated Medical Network, upon obtaining pre-approval, we will pay the covered expenses directly to the relevant Hong Kong private hospitals, GBA hospitals, or medical service providers. For service details and pre-approval procedures, please log in to the member platform and ask your attending doctor to complete the pre-approval form first. The cashless arrangement service is provided by a third-party provider. The Company reserves the right to modify medical network appointments and will not bear any responsibility for the services provided by third-party service providers. These services do not require an additional premium.
