#ActuaryCommentary A plan with deductibles to save on premium, designed for peace-of-mind seekers who currently have medical insurance for Semi-private rooms but still want to enhance their coverage.
* The above premium is based on a 30-year-old non-smoker. The default deductible option chosen for Bowtie Pink is HK$80,000. 1 As of November 2022, the reimbursement ratio of Bowtie VHIS Flexi Regular is 90%. 2 The Bowtie Pink Voluntary Health Insurance series fully covers eligible medical expenses such as diagnosis, hospitalisation, surgery, and prescribed non-surgical cancer treatments (except in the United States), and subject to annual benefit limits and lifetime benefit limits. If the claim involves a Mainland China Hospital unlisted in / a High-end Mainland China Hospital listed in the "List of Designated Hospitals in Mainland China" or confinement in a room higher than the designated ward class or a pre-existing condition, the relevant benefit payable may be adjusted. For details, please refer to Section 1(b), 1(c) of the Supplement No. 1 and Section 6.4 of the Terms and Conditions.

#BowtieActuarialExperts
The increased coverage amount allows you to choose between a semi-private ward with a higher level of privacy or the service of a standard ward with higher rates.
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.
We estimate the amount of coverage under the Flexi Plan (Plus) based on cancer cases. According to the survey, the average cost of each prescribed diagnostic imaging test is $14,000. With a 30% deductible, the coverage amount can cover 4 tests per year.
The coverage is designed for cancer cases. It may not fully cover all treatment expenses, but it can greatly reduce the financial burden of patients.

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.
