Bowtie Pink VHIS Plan

How Bowtie can help if you can't afford the deductible after retirement?

Suggested practice:

Submit the initial claim with your existing medical plan that has no deductibles (i.e. your company’s group medical plan/ personal medical plan)
Submit a claim for the remaining expenses with Bowtie Pink

The benefit is that you can use the reimbursements from the existing medical plan to offset Bowtie Pink’s deductible to reduce any out-of-pocket payments.

What is a deductible and how should I choose? ask AI

Each Bowtie Pink VHIS policyholder can exercise a one-off right to reduce or remove the deductible, without re-underwriting and providing further evidence of the insurability of the insured.

Starting from 30 April 2023, where the Insured Person has been covered under the Policy continuously for 2 consecutive Policy Years. Subject to the Deductible options available at that time, the policyholder can request to exercise such right, made not less than 30 days prior to the Renewal Date on or immediately following the date that the Insured Person attains the Age of 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 or 80.

In any case, after the change of Deductible, the premiums of the Policy willbe adjusted according to the prevailing Standard Premium schedule and the relevant Terms. For details, please refer to the policy terms and conditions Supplement No. 1.

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

The above claim cases are purely for illustrative purposes and reference only. Any person who applies for insurance products, should, before doing so, consider their own needs, financial capabilities, and if there are overlaps of coverage in insurance policies.
6. Before applying for additional insurance products, please take personal needs and affordability into account, and also consider whether there are overlaps of coverage. The purchase of multiple medical insurance policies by the same insured does not mean that the insured can file multiple claims for the same medical treatment, or the insured can receive a claim amount more than the medical expenses. For the criteria and limits for claims, please refer to the terms and conditions of your insurance policy.
7. The medical expense figures in the case are the real claims data of Bowtie customers.

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.

Launched Bowtie Pink (Ward Room)

Since most of the group medical insurance claims are for ward rooms, while high-end medical insurance plans are usually designed for semi-private and private rooms only, Bowtie Pink VHIS series has added a ward level. If customers hold a group medical insurance plan that covers the ward rooms, they can enjoy full coverage* at lower premiums with deductibles.
