Benefits for hospital income

In response to the enduring threat of the pandemic, we enhance our coverage through adding this benefit to our standard policy provision, effective from 1 January 2021. If insured employees and/or insured dependents of AXA Employee Benefits hospitalisation policies4 are hospitalised5 as a result of confirmed coronavirus disease of 2019 ("COVID-19") infection, AXA will provide an additional daily hospital cash benefit of HKD/MOP700 for a period of up to 45 days6 without waiting period.  

Free double post-vaccination protection programme

With COVID-19 vaccination becoming available, to let our existing and new customers receive the vaccination worry-free, eligible insured persons7 can get a hospital cash benefit of HKD2,000 per day (for confinement in intensive care unit (“ICU” in Hospital)) and/or HKD1,000 per day (for confinement  in non-ICU) for a period of up to 10 days if the eligible insured person7 is confined in the hospital as a result of an Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI)8  within 14 days after receiving the eligible vaccine9 between 1 April 2021 to 31 December 2021, both dates inclusive.

Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for details.

24-hour customer service hotline

24-hour customer service hotline (852-2894 4701) has been set up to answer customer queries about the COVID-19.

For AXA Medical insurance or Employee Benefits customers

If you are suspected of contracting, or are confirmed to have contracted the COVID-19, you do not need to apply for pre-authorisation for hospital admission in Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China and can also apply for any related claims.

If you are admitted to an isolation ward in a hospital in Hong Kong, Macau or Mainland China due to a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 infection, you are still entitled to claim eligible medical expenses regardless of the type of hospital ward.

If you are admitted to a private hospital that requires COVID-19 admission screening test, you can submit the claim for the relevant fee of the admission screening together with your in-patient hospital expenses benefits after discharging from hospital.

For AXA Employee Benefits customers

You can enjoy the coverage of teleconsultations under General Consultation and Specialist Consultation, so that you may receive the necessary medical care while staying home².

For AXA Travel Insurance customers

If you decided to cancel your trip to anywhere in the world outside Hong Kong, you can apply for premium refund for the Single Trip SmartTraveller Plus/ SmartTraveller policy purchased. For details, please <click> here.

For AXA Home Contents Insurance customers

We offer additional ‘Cleaning and Sanitising Benefit’ to designated home contents insurance customers for free. If you or anyone living with you at the insured address is tested positive for COVID-19 during the coverage period, we will reimburse your home cleaning and sanitising expense as an immediate support to you and your family. (Coverage period from now until 31 December 2021)
