IMPORTANT NEWS: In view of the status of enrolment and the feedbacks from the association’s members relating to the Hong Kong Police Force’s Voluntary Group Medical Insurance Plan (the “Plan”), the four Hong Kong Police Force’s associations together with Tung Yan Fund have proactively discussed with the insurer and made suggestions to increase the flexibility of the Plan. Certain relevant changes have now been made to the Plan with the key updates summarised as follows:-
Relaxation on the enrolment rule: Eligible unmarried child(ren) of the Insured Members can now enrol to the Plan on a voluntary basis. However, the Insured Members’ eligible spouse (if any) MUST be enrolled to the Plan together with the Insured Members.
The eligible age of unmarried child(ren) has been extended from the age of 22 to the age of 26. Once the coverage of the insured child(ren) is terminated for any reasons (including the premium not being paid or the coverage not being renewed), he/she will not be able to re-enrol to the Plan.
The eligible unmarried child(ren) joining the Plan on or before 30 April 2023 can enjoy a 15% premium discount for the first policy year on the inpatient benefits subject to the relevant terms and conditions of the offer.
In view of the above changes, the enrolment period has been extended to 30 April 2023, and the intended effective date of the Plan will be changed to 1 June 2023.
Please note that whether the Plan will become effective and the effective date of the Plan will be subject to the minimum number of participants who have successfully enrolled in the Plan having been fulfilled and/or the decision of the policyholder and/or the insurer.
If you have submitted the application for the enrolment to the Plan on or before 26 February 2023, the insurer will contact you on or before 28 February 2023 on the above changes and seek for your reply on whether you (and your spouse and child(ren), if any) wish to continue your application for the enrolment to the Plan or not. If the insurer does not receive your reply on or before 30 April 2023, your previous enrolment application shall be deemed cancelled and void. Please contact the insurer at (852) 2200 6262 for enquiries relating to the Plan.
The updated details of the Plan and the relevant arrangement will be announced on 27 February 2023. Please stay tuned.
