Do I still need VHIS Standard Plan if my employer provides group medical insurance?

Group medical insurance typically offers basic protection only and does not cover you after you leave the company. We recommend customers review their group medical insurance policies to determine if the level of protection is adequate. If you find that the coverage from your group medical insurance is insufficient, you can consider purchasing an individual medical insurance plan (like Bowtie VHIS Standard Plan) to increase protection.

Why are Bowtie VHIS Standard Plan premiums so much lower than most other insurers?

Bowtie is the first-ever virtual insurance company. By harnessing the latest technology, we offer commission-free products without intermediaries and reduce operating costs through efficiencies. As a result, we can keep premiums at their lowest while offering the same level of protection.

Will the premiums go up significantly in the future?

We do not foresee the premiums increase significantly in the future. In fact, early on in the product development stages, we had already factored in future expenses and reviewed industry data from reinsurers when we set the premiums.

The Standard Plan coverage of $20,000 is sufficient for only one prescribed diagnostic imaging test, e.g. 1 “PET” (Positron Emission Tomography) scan at a cost of up to $18,000. We consider two prescribed diagnostic imaging tests per year to be a reasonable frequency and use this number as the basis for the estimation of the Flexi Plan (Regular) coverage.

#BowtieActuarialExperts

We estimate that the cost of each emergency treatment (e.g. stitches, x-rays, and casts) is around $3,000-$4,000. Referring to thousands of claim statistics over a 5-year period, only less than 0.1% of the insured had more than 1 accident claim within one year. We take 2 annual outpatient visits for accidents as the basis of estimation. The insured need not worry about a complete loss of coverage in case of only 1 accident.

Remarks

¹ According to the results of Bowtie’s market survey conducted on December 7, 2023 on similar VHIS flexi plans, Bowtie VHIS Flexi Regular offers relatively lower monthly premiums for non-smokers aged 0 to 3 and 7 to 99. The coverage and sum insured of different medical insurance plans can differ. For details, please refer to the relevant policy and its terms and conditions.
^‍2 The above comparison takes into account VHIS Flexi plans with an annual coverage amount ranging from HK$520,000 to HK$600,000 with additional medical benefits, and the monthly premiums are calculated based on the rates for a non-smoking male of that age. According to the results of Bowtie’s market survey conducted on February 10, 2022 on similar VHIS flexi plans, Bowtie’s VHIS—Flexi Plan ranks third in the market for the number of additional benefits, and Bowtie’s “Prescribed Diagnostic Imaging Test” benefit limit is the highest in Hong Kong.
³ The reimbursement rates provided are as of September 2021 and are for reference only. Actual reimbursement rates may vary depending on the severity of the case, required treatment, and actual medical expenses.
⁴ Calculated based on the standard premium of a 30-year-old non-smoking male insured with Bowtie Cancer Fighter 300.
⁵BowtieCash Program applies to Bowtie VHIS plans only. BowtieCash can only be used to pay for eligible medical costs that exceed the VHIS plan coverage and health services redemption. It is not a cash reward program and does not form a part of the Bowtie VHIS plan.

⁸ The above is the average approved claim rate for Bowtie VHIS "Standard", "Flexible - Regular", "Flexible - Upgrade" and Bowtie Pink as of August 2023.
⁹According to data analysis by YouGov, an international market research organization, Bowtie has been the "Insurance brand with the most customers considering it to be good value for money" in Hong Kong for two consecutive years since 2021. Value for money doesn’t just mean “cheap”, but means that it can bring value and services to consumers that are equivalent to the price.
¹⁰Such full reimbursement subject to the annual benefit limit of the Insured Person’s VHIS Flexi Plan. The designated hospital will submit the pre-approval application in response to the selected medical packages for inpatient treatments for the cashless settlement service to Bowtie on your behalf, in which the cashless settlement Service is subjected to Bowtie's approval.
