Can I apply for multiple policies?

  • Updated

Sure! You could apply for multiple policies under your name, including:

  • you as the policyholders & insured of different insurance products in the policies of different products
  • you as the policyholders while your family member as the insured in the policies of different products

You could manage all your policies under the same Bowtie account. If you wish to upgrade your existing plan in the future, you can submit the relevant upgrade application through the Bowtie online platform (Only applicable to Bowtie VHIS Plans and Bowtie Term Life. For upgrading other insurance plans, please contact Bowtie Customer Service Team.). 

 

Please note that purchasing multiple policies or upgrading your coverage will require **a separate application and underwriting process for each product**. Here's why:

  • Each product has its own health questionnaire — tailored to its specific coverage type and risk assessment
  • You cannot reuse your underwriting questionnaire from one product for another — the questions are designed to evaluate different health risks relevant to each insurance type
  • Different underwriting requirements — For example, a Term Life application asks about income and existing life insurance coverage, while a VHIS application focuses on current and past medical conditions
  • Customized premiums — This ensures we can provide you with the most accurate premium calculation based on each product's specific underwriting criteria

 

Tips from Bowtie: If you have multiple policies, you may want to think through which eligible policies to apply for compensation first after medical treatments.

For example, you need hospitalization and physiotherapy after an accident, you may wish to get compensation from Bowtie Touchwood first before Bowtie VHIS as it may cover your spending fully! If you have doubts, contact us for advice!
