Case studies

Freelancers are different from full-time workers. I have no company welfare and group health insurance. My income is unstable so I have to take care of myself. I bought medical insurance after graduation, but the protection is minimal. As the Bowtie Pink’s premium is reasonable, I buy it for more coverage

My group health plan only provides basic protection. Having Bowtie Pink, I hope to pay nothing if anything bad happens. My group health plan can cover the deductible of Bowtie Pink and Bowtie Pink can cover fully so I have no worries.

My group health plan is good for basic protection but not enough for covering cancer and other critical illnesses. Also, I prefer a semi-private room with quietness and privacy. Bowtie Pink fits my needs and its premium is reasonable.
