Being prepared for every eventuality is probably impossible, but you can take the right steps to ensure you are always financially prepared in the event of an emergency or crisis.
Having health insurance is not only important for ensuring access to necessary medical care, but it also makes financial sense. Without insurance, the cost of medical treatment can be exorbitant and can lead to financial ruin.
Even a minor injury can result in thousands of dollars in medical bills. With health insurance, these costs are significantly reduced and can provide peace of mind in the event of an unexpected illness or injury.
Additionally, many insurance plans also offer preventative care and screenings, which can save money in the long run.
What is insurance?
To put it into Monopoly terms, it’s your “Get Out of Jail Free” card combined with the “Pass Go & Collect R200” card. Not only does it help you out in a sticky situation but it pays out a little money to help get over that situation.
What is health insurance?
While most of us are probably quite aware of vehicle or house insurance, health insurance might be one you’re not too familiar with.
Health insurance is when you pay a monthly premium for a collection of benefits that pay out money in certain medical circumstances.
What are these benefits?
Well, they differ from provider to provider, but GetSavvi Health members have access to a wide range of benefits that can help you in almost every life situation.
These are the kind of benefits you use on a daily basis such as visiting a doctor for the diagnosis of an illness or a pharmacy for medication.
FeelBetterFast Pharmacy Solution
This benefit allows visits to a network pharmacy for private consultations with a nurse or pharmacist for minor ailments instead of making an appointment to see a doctor.
GetSavvi Health members and their families are comprehensively covered our full funeral cover, which ensures you and your loved ones can honour the deceased properly and without financial burdens.
HIV, Assault & Trauma Counseling
While this is a benefit we hope no one ever needs to use, it is a one we fundamentally believe in. Counseling after a traumatic event is paramount to the healing process, and all GetSavvi Health members have 24/7, 365 days a year access to our trained counselors who are on hand to assist you.
Preventative Benefits
Prevention is always better than cure, and we want to ensure all of our GetSavvi Health members stay as healthy as possible. This benefit gives access to health tests, scans, and vaccinations.
