Does the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme cover outpatient expenses?

The outpatient coverage is mainly for outpatient treatments before pre and post-hospitalization and day case procedures, with a maximum number of visits and benefit amount. In addition, 70% of the eligible costs for prescribed diagnostic imaging tests (i.e. CT, MRI, PET, PET-CT, PET-MRI) are covered for outpatient visits.

Does the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme cover medical services outside Hong Kong?

Yes, except for psychiatric treatment. However, insurance companies may restrict the additional coverage to specified areas when designing a flexi plan.

Is dental treatment covered under the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme?

VHIS does not cover regular dental check-ups, scaling, fillings, etc. However, if the insured requires emergency oral or dental procedures as a result of an accident, the relevant payments will be covered under the surgical Fee.

Bowtie emphasizes long-term protection

From day one, our product design has been aimed at providing long-term affordable protection that keeps pace with the times. This ensures you will still have adequate coverage even 5 or 10 years down the road.

What does voluntary medical insurance actually cover

Focus on Pragmatic Protection

Useful coverage is good coverage. We don't blindly pursue the number of benefit items. Instead, we design our products based on actual usage rates, fairness to customers, and average out-of-pocket amounts. This allows us to maintain low prices while ensuring a reasonable reimbursement rate.

Affordability Assured

The risk of illness only increases with age. Maintaining affordable premiums ensures you have coverage for the future.
In addition to operational and product design efforts, we actively offer various early disease screening and preventive treatment options. This helps reduce severe illness claims cases and alleviates premium increase pressure in the long run.

Annual upgrade, to keep pace with needs

A good medical insurance plan should evolve with the times.Facing medical inflation and increasing public health needs, we are committed to reviewing claims data and customer needs annually to enhance our coverage and services.
So far, Bowtie VHIS, has been upgraded for 3 consecutive years.
