Pet Insurance

It's possible that the premium may be adjusted or remain unchanged* when it's time to renew your policy. Factors we consider for pricing adjustments including but not limited to:    ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀  - Collective claim experience in the preceding years by Hong Kong pet owners   - Your pet’s age at renewal#   - Average increase of the veterinary surgeon charges     ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀  As the exact renewal premium will be calculated based on the factors stated above, we therefore cannot provide preview on renewal premium beforehand. Please rest assured that if there’s any adjustment, we will indicate the renewal premium 30 days before the policy renewal. If you prefer not to renew the policy, you may stop the auto-renewal function of the policy through our online system upon receiving the renewal notice. If you do not stop such function, the policy will be automatically renewed so that your pet’s protection will not be disrupted.    ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀  Pawfect Care will not base premium adjustments on a policyholder's individual claim history.     ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀  *Premium discount offered by Promo code is only applicable to the first year of a policy. The renewal premium will be calculated based by the original price according to the pet’s age.     ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀  #The age band of Pawfect Care are: 13 weeks to 11 months, 1 year old to 3 years old, 4 years old to 7 years old, and 8 years old to 11 years old.    ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀  The premium trend and age band above are for reference only, no upper age limit for renewal.

Once the Pawfect Care insurance application is confirmed with submission, the policy plan cannot be adjusted in the middle of policy period. Meanwhile, you can feel free to make change of the plan within 30 days before policy renewal. Please be aware, any plan adjustment may affect policy coverage or else may even require re-underwriting.   The current restrictions on policy plan upgrade, are as the follows:   1. The maximum pet age for plan upgrade as 11 years old or below; 2. Extended policy coverage upon plan upgrade will only be effective after passing through relating waiting period; 3. If the insured pet diagnosed with the in-list “pre-existing condition”* before policy upgrade; the coverage retains under the original plan even after upgrade; 4. If the insured pet is aged 5 or above by time of plan upgrade, the newly diagnosed chronic illnesses# will enjoy the upgraded plan coverage. Whilst, the coverage of those diagnosed chronic illnesses will revert to the original plan by renewals thereafter   No re-underwriting is required to undergo for plan downgrading by policy renewal. Meanwhile, if policy holder decides to upgrade the plan again in future; re-underwriting is required and waiting period will also be passing over again.   Pawfect Care insurance aims to provide relevant health guard protection and to share financial burden with the owners in taking good care of their furry friends in long run.
