Enjoy "CareForAll Hospital Cash - First Year HKD1 Supplement" by successfully purchase designated plans
HONG KONG, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AXA Hong Kong and Macau (AXA) announced the launch of its new "CareForAll Hospital Cash Plan" ("the plan"), including daily hospital cash benefit, to support customer every step of the way. This plan is coupled with a relaxed underwriting1 process, ensuring that customer can focus on their well-being without added stress.
Customer only needs to answer three simple health underwriting questions mostly focusing on their health conditions of the past two years. Moreover, there is no need to perform any medical examinations1. HKD1,000 daily cash will be provided as Hospital Income Benefit while they are staying in the hospital as an in-patient2 (up to 120 confinement days per policy year). The plan offers appropriate coverage with key features such as covering the confinement resulting from pre-existing condition(s) from the 3rd policy year onwards3, guaranteed annual renewal with coverage until the insured reaches the age of 1004 and complimentary medical check-up5. Meanwhile, apart from choosing "CareForAll Hospital Cash Plan" as a standalone basic plan, customer can also purchase "CareForAll Hospital Cash Supplement" as a supplement to designated individual life insurance or medical insurance basic plans. This supplementary option provides greater flexibility in terms of protection choices.
In addition, there is also an option of first year HKD1 supplement. By successfully purchase designated plans6, customer can apply for the "CareForAll Hospital Cash – First Year HKD1 Supplement". This supplement provides identical coverage7 as "CareForAll Hospital Cash Supplement", with a premium of only HKD1 for the 1st policy year.
Janet Lee, Chief Life and Health Insurance Officer of AXA Hong Kong and Macau, said: "Having good health is not something to be taken for granted, but everyone deserves appropriate and reliable protection to alleviate financial pressures during hospitalisation. Last year, we introduced the 'CareForAll Critical Illness Plan', offering comprehensive health value-added services to encourage customers to adopt healthier lifestyles. This year, we continue our commitment to providing customers with appropriate and reliable protection by launching an enhanced hospital cash plan and covering the confinement resulting from pre-existing condition(s) from the 3rd policy year onwards3. AXA will continue to actively listen to customers' health management needs and continuously improve our products."
Key features of "CareForAll Hospital Cash Plan":
- Hospital Income Benefit of HKD1,000 per day2: In the unfortunate event of hospitalisation, the Plan is designed to offer HKD1,000 daily cash as Hospital Income Benefit while customers are staying in the hospital as an in-patient for up to 120 confinement days per policy year to guarantee customer have source of income during hospitalisation. If hospitalisation overseas (outside of Hong Kong, Macau, or mainland China) is required, a 50% adjustment will be applied and customers will be offered HKD500 daily cash for each day of confinement under Hospital Income Benefit, ensuring customers receive assistance during the hospital stay, regardless of the location.
- Relaxed underwriting requirements1for better access of coverage: With inclusivity being its core objective, the Plan is devoted to making access to the plan as easy as possible. To apply, customers only need to answer three health underwriting questions mostly focusing on their health conditions of the past two years. Moreover, there is no need to perform any medical examinations, further simplifying the application process.
- Coverage for pre-existing conditions from the 3rd policy year onwards3: To further support customers to prioritise their recovery and well-being, the Plan will cover the confinement resulting from pre-existing condition(s) from the 3rd policy year onwards, providing more comprehensive protection for customers' health.
- Guaranteed renewal covering up to age 1004: The Plan comes with the assurance of annual renewal8 covering up to insured's age of 1005, regardless of customers' claims record under the Plan and any subsequent changes in the health condition, alleviating customers' concerns about policy renewal.
- Free medical check-up5 to foster proactive care: Committed to providing comprehensive care, the Plan is also concerned about customers' preventative care and overall well-being. To encourage proactive health measures, AXA provide a one-time complimentary medical check-up. Regardless of the check-up results, customers will receive a medical check-up bonus equivalent to a 10% premium rebate of that policy year's premium. The check-up bonus can be used to pay future premiums of your policy, ensuring that customers' commitment to good health is rewarded and supported.
