Visit the product page for more designated GHK Medical Package details. You may also contact our claim specialists at 3001 5670 or email claim@bowtie.com.hk for more details / further assistance.
¹ Full reimbursement only applies to the fees of designated medical packages and is subject to the annual benefit limit of the Insured Person’s VHIS Flexi Plan. The Insured Person has to pay out of pocket to cover all the fees that have not been pre-approved by Bowtie to GHK directly before discharge.
² GHK will submit the pre-approval application in respect of the designated medical package(s) for the intended surgery(s)/ procedure(s) for the cashless settlement service to Bowtie on your behalf, which the cashless settlement service is subject to Bowtie's approval. For the service terms and conditions, please refer to the relevant application form.
There are three scenarios where you may not be eligible for full reimbursement and cash benefits for designated medical packages:
Scenario 1: Your Wellness Package is still in the waiting period
If you add on the medical package after Bowtie VHIS comes into effect, Bowtie will set a 180-day waiting period for the "Cash Benefit and Full Reimbursement for Designated Medical Packages". During the waiting period, even if you use the designated medical package, the relevant expenses will be reimbursed according to the coverage limits outlined in your VHIS plan's benefits schedule.
Scenario 2: The designated medical package involves exclusions under your Bowtie VHIS policy
In this case, even if the treatment is part of the designated medical packages, you won’t be eligible for full reimbursement or cash benefits if the treatment or body part involved is not covered under your VHIS policy.
This is because the full reimbursement and cash benefits under the wellness plan are based on the coverage scope of Bowtie VHIS Flexi Plan and BowtiePink. Any exclusions under your VHIS policy also apply to the coverage provided by this wellness plan.
Scenario 3: Insufficient remaining annual or lifetime coverage under your Bowtie VHIS policy
Only full reimbursement for designated medical packages is subject to the annual or lifetime coverage limits (if applicable) under your Bowtie VHIS policy. Cash benefits are not subject to these limits.
Bowtie VHIS Flexi Plan
Reimbursement is first calculated and deducted according to the individual item limits under your Flexi Plan. Any remaining cost is counted under the wellness plan, and the total reimbursement amount is then deducted from the annual coverage limit. If the total claim amount exceeds the remaining annual coverage limit of your policy, full reimbursement will not be possible.
Suppose the cost of the designated medical package is HK$90,000, but the remaining annual coverage under your Flexi Plan is only HK$50,000. In this case, you will only be reimbursed HK$50,000, and the remaining HK$40,000 will need to be covered by you.
BowtiePink
BowtiePink already provides full reimbursement for the cost of designated medical packages without requiring the wellness plan. However, the reimbursed amount will still be deducted from your policy’s annual and lifetime coverage limits. If the total claim amount exceeds these limits, full reimbursement will not be possible.
For product terms and conditions, please refer to the relevant product page.
After purchasing the Wellness Package, even if you need to receive treatments at other hospitals/treatments other than selected medical packages within your Wellness Plan, you will still get reimbursed according to the VHIS Flexi Plan coverage details. There will be no restrictions on your treatment options. However, you will not be entitled to the "Cashless Settlement Application Waiver " service.
Should you require assistance, you may contact our Claims Specialist by calling at 3001 5670 or by emailing at claim@bowtie.com.hk.
