As a Scheme, Fedhealth appreciates interaction with our stakeholders, including our brokers. We welcome your honest feedback, suggestions and questions, since it helps us to improve not only our relationship with you, but also our offering to your clients.
As such, it has come to our attention that the use of the word ‘supercharged’ with regards to our flexiFED hospital plans does not make as much sense as we would like it to.
So, please allow us to clarify:
Why do we call it a ‘supercharged’ hospital plan?
Because, unlike other schemes’ hospital plans that only pay for hospital related expenses, our flexiFED plans go further by covering members for a range of day-to-day benefits as well. So we pay quite a bit extra from Risk, and not the member’s day-to-day, which they can keep for other expenses.
These include unlimited cover for female contraceptives, unlimited cover for trauma treatment in a casualty ward (with a co-pay), unlimited cover for MRI/CT scans (with a co-pay), 7 days’ supply of take-home medicine post-discharge, 30-day post hospital benefit, unlimited GP consults and dentistry. Certain plans offer even more built in day-to-day benefits for things like optometry, maternity, childhood benefits and mental health – all at no additional cost to the member.
We therefore use the word ‘supercharged’ to indicate that our hospital plans are supercharged with rich in-hospital cover PLUS built in day-to-day benefits, which is so much more than what’s offered by the average hospital plan!
For our Paypoint members who’ve had trouble adding Fedhealth’s long option description on your payroll system, you can use the following:
- flexiFED 2 hospital plan
- flexiFED 2 savings plan
- flexiFED 2 flexible savings plan
We hope that this clarifies our supercharged terminology a bit better!
