Other plan highlights

Flexibility to suit your needs 

We offer various choices for you to select to suit your personal medical needs:

Whether you are looking for extensive protection or top-up cover to supplement your current medical plan, annual deductible choices allow you to specify how much you are willing to pay before you claim. Higher deductible amount could lower your premium. For example, if you chose an annual deductible of HK$16,000 and your eligible medical expense is HK$100,000, you would receive HK$100,000 less your deductible, which would be HK$84,000.
 
You also have the flexibility to purchase OptimaCEO Medical Plan either as a standalone insurance plan or as an add-on plan of specified basic plans.

 

Versatile deductible reduction for peace of mind

You can also choose to reduce your annual deductible amount to a specified amount provided by OptimaCEO Medical Plan at that time without having to provide us with current details of the insured’s health condition, upon the policy anniversary of your OptimaCEO Medical Plan policy when the insured is at the age of 50, 55, 60 or 65. The annual deductible can be reduced once only during the term of the policy. The premium will be adjusted based on your selected annual deductible amount, and your out-of-pocket limit for a claim will be reduced. Before making your request for this reduction of annual deductible, you should reassess if this reduction can suit your personal needs.

 

Lifetime renewal

You can renew your cover every policy year for life. Renewal premium will be based on the prevailing premium rates and the insured’s attained age at the time of renewal, but it will not be based on any claim you have made, or any changes in the insured’s health condition.

Key Product Risks

1. You need to pay the premium for this plan for life as long as you renew for this plan or for this add-on plan until the basic plan it is attached to is terminated. If you do not pay the premium within 31 days of the premium due date, the policy will be terminated and you / the insured will lose the cover.

2. You may request for the termination of your policy by notifying us in written notice. Also, we will terminate your policy and you / the insured will lose the cover on the occurrence of the earliest of any of the following:

• you do not pay the premium within 31 days of the premium due date;
• when the aggregate benefits (excluding compassionate death benefit) paid under your policy and all other relevant insurance policies covering the same insured have reached the overall lifetime limit; or
• when you take this plan as add-on plan of any basic plan which has been terminated, matured, cancelled or converted to a non-participating insurance plan; or such add-on plan is cancelled or terminated pursuant to the terms of the corresponding basic plan.
